Samenvatting:Computer simulations using the finite element method (FEM) are used to predict the correlation between the transport limiting current (I(lim)) and parameters such as diffusion coefficient, source to electrode separation, source power, and medium viscosity for a sonicated disk electrode in "face on" mode. The fluid dynamics and diffusion layer are modeled directly using FEM and predict that the electrode is uniformly accessible, I(lim) is proportional to the diffusion coefficient to the 2/3 power and I(lim) is proportional to the square root of the source power. Curves are also calculated relating I(lim) to the source to electrode separation and liquid viscosity.
