Popis: Fluorine production results from the electrolysis of hydrogen fluoride based molten salts. This process involves several phenomena which are intimately related. They include two-phase flow, species transport, electrokinetics and heat transfer. A multiphysics model was built in order to fully simulate this process and simulation results are compared to experimental data. The accent is put on the process of solidification of the electrolyte on the cooling system and on mass transport close to the cathode. A complex link between bubble generation at the electrodes and species consumption has been highlighted.
