Abstract
Hydrodynamical processes in electrometallurgical devices have been studied Results of dynamic boundary layer experimental investigations on the lateral surface of a cylindrical mercury bath with axisymmetrical current supply have been presented. Universal velocity profiles and boundary layer thickness dependences for baths with a similar geometry have been obtained. Figs 5, refs 5.
