KW - Aluminum production, electrolysis, magnetohydrodynamics, alumina injection and dissolution.
AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Numerical simulation in aluminum production involves many different
topics, this paper is dedicated to some aspects of two of them. In the first part, a numerical approach for the computation of the motion of the fluids
in an electrolytic cell is presented, with an emphasis on a mesh deformation
technique to track the free interface during the time. In a second part, a model
for the simulation of alumina dissolution and repartition is exposed.</p>
