A mathematical model and numerical algorithm are developed to predict
electrode-position rates from a 2-D jet of electrolyte that impinges o
n a flat surface The principal situations of interest are for applied
voltages that produce current densities below the limiting current. Th
e motion is assumed to be at high speed with the jet inducing a thin l
aminar boundary layer on the surface; a progressively thinner concentr
ation layer and an electrochemical double layer near the surface ave a
ccounted for. Two cases, corresponding to a submerged and unsubmerged
jet, are considered. A boundary integral method is used to compute the
current density along the plate in a general iterative numerical proc
edure coupled to the solution of the hydrodynamic, concentration and e
lectrochemical boundary layers. The results show that relatively high
deposition rates occur near the point of impingement and that altering
the jet angle relative to the surface influences local electrodeposit
ion rates significantly.
