Abstract
A boundary element numerical scheme is developed to solve the problem of electrode shape change in an electrochemical process involving convection, diffusion and migration. Particular attention is paid to the role of each mechanism in determining the pattern of deposition. A uniform B-spline function is employed to define the shape of the electrode at each time step. An adaptive scheme is developed to generate the internal cells required in the BEM formulation to deal with the non-constant convection and nonlinear terms of the problem. Several tests are carried out to assess the proposed method.
