Numerical simulation of mass transfer enhancement in liquid metal batteries by means of electro-vortex flow

Mass transfer is of paramount importance for an efficient operation of liquid metal batteries. We show for the first time that electrodynamically driven flow can indeed improve mixing of liquid electrodes, and reduces concentration polarisation substantially. Simulating the discharge of a realistic...
