Abstract
Current is supplied to a Søderberg electrode by copper clamps that are attached to the steel casing around the electrode. From this casing steel fins run into the paste to enhance current transport, creating a non-uniform distribution of current and temperature within the paste.
The aim for the Study Group is to determine whether a homogenisation approach can be used to reduce the problem to one with axial symmetry.
