On the Iterative Boundary Element Method

Abstract

A generic computer code based on the iterative boundary integral equation method (I-BIEM) is developed for simulating a variety of electrochemical problems. In this work we have extended the reach of the method by developing a generalized program capable of solving a wide range of electrodeposition problems. The new code accommodates quite easily multi-variable problems including those with curved boundaries, and non-linear boundary conditions. Such problems include anomalous codeposition of alloys, incorporating the effects of convective and diffusive mass transport; time variant effects such as would be observed in extended growth calculations and pulse plating; microstructural modeling with reference to nonisotropic boundary conditions and crystallographic effects. Some interesting results of real-life simulations are presented. Keywords: Keywords: Boundary valve problem.
