Abstract:
      Flowing cyclically in sodium electrolytic cell due to the buoyant force impact of bubble on anode and sodium on cathode, the electrolyte was a typical air-liquid-liquid triphase flow. The three-dimensional flow field mathematic models of 40 kA sodium electrolytic cell were established with FLUENT software. The concentration and velocity distribution of bubble and sodium, as well as the flow field of molten salt, were obtained through calculation.
