Abstract
The transition of laminar to turbulent regimes on smooth electrocatalysts in thin-film electrochemical cells is a subject of study with the aim of predicting current density profiles. Analytical solutions are obtained for velocity profiles under steady state conditions for both hydrodynamic conditions applying a proper velocity contour condition on the catalyst surface. This state is necessary to describe electrochemical cell performances since in these cases, electrode reactions occur at the surface and not in the bulk of the electrolyte. The obtained equations for linear momentum under asymptotic conditions reduce to the solutions obtained by classical Power Series methods years ago. Concentration and current density profiles are also solved accordingly and compared with experimental data of fast redox and dissolved gas reactions on smooth noble metal electrocatalysts.
