The chlorate process and the chlor-alkali process are just two examples of widely-used industrial processes in which electrochemical reactions, occurring at the surfaces of electrodes immersed in baths of liquid electrolyte, give rise to gas bubble evolution, which in turn leads to the turbulent flow of the electrolyte. The operation of such cells and reactors is far from optimal, leading in most cases to excessive energy consumption and environmental pollution. Optimization of such complex systems requires a fundamental understanding of the interaction of the physical phenomena mentioned above. This proposal concerns the appointment of a research fellow to develop theoretical models for the turbulent, multiphase flows of the type that occur in such electrochemical processes.
