Abstract
Results of numerical simulations of the effect of an oscillating fluid flow on the limiting‐current distribution on a line electrode imbedded in an otherwise insulated plane are presented. The fluid motion is established by a parallel plate oscillating in its own plane. The simulation results agree with theory developed for large Péclet numbers and low oscillation frequencies. It is shown that the average mass‐transfer‐limited current density increases with Péclet number but decreases with dimensionless oscillation frequency. The time‐averaged spatial variation in the normalized distribution is always highly nonuniform, but the temporal variations of the spatially averaged flux decrease significantly with increasing oscillation frequency.
