A study of bath velocity distribution in a 3-D water model

A probe consisting of a sphere and an embedded thermocouple was used for measuring point velocities in a 3-D air-water model. Prior to testing in the model, the probe was calibrated in a water flow channel. Results measured in a full-scale 3-D model covering various parts of the cell including various positions of the center channel, the side channel and the anode-anode gap are reported. Flow directions can also be detected using this measurement technique.
