Numerical simulation electric distribution in aluminum reduction cell with vertical collector bars

The electric current distributions in cathode were calculated using a 3D thermal-electric model. The results show that the cell with vertical collector bars has a uniform voltage (electric current density) in the cathode carbon across the entire cell width than that of a conventional cell. Furthermo...
