The aluminium electrolysis cell used in Hall-Héroult process contains two stratified molten materials (aluminium and cryolite) that are subjected to gravity, shear, and high-intensity electromagnetic stresses. The two-fluid flow is essential for ensuring the distribution of alumina and heat throughout the cell, preventing the depletion of reactants and local overheating. However, describing the flow of these opaque, high-temperature, and aggressive fluids in a complex cell geometry is challenging. This study aims to define the parameters influencing the flow of both fluids by comparing different turbulence models for simulating fluid flow in the cell. A simplified model of the electrolytic cell is utilized to investigate the transient fluctuations of the fluids' velocity field. Various approaches, including Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and the Large Eddy simulation (LES) method, are compared to assess their effectiveness in accurately representing the turbulence behavior in the aluminium electrolysis cell.
