Abstract:
      Based on the similitude principle, the water model of electrolysis cell was established and the flow phenomenon of water model was analyzed with the zinc electrolyzer of Yunnan Chihong Zn&Ge Company as the experiment instrument. Further, the flow fields of the zinc electrolyzer were simulated numerically with commercial software FLUENT. The results showed that in accordance with the experimental results, the simulation results of quadrilateral mesh type reasonably reflected the internal flow field of zinc electrolyzer. Inner flow field of the zinc electrolyzer under different conditions was studied, and the suggestions were proposed, and the theoretical basis to improve and optimize the cell structure and expand the cell size was put forward.
