Cellular Automata for Electrochemistry. Implementation of Uniform Flows

One-dimensional electrochemical cellular automaton (1D-ECA) has been extended so that effects of axial uniform flows toward the electrode can be simulated. The model is characterized by a sink connected to the terminating cell and a pair of asymmetric propagation probabilities that enables a drift with a constant velocity toward the electrode. The plots of the reciprocal stationary-state current and the reciprocal flow velocity yield a line, whose intercept corresponds to the current in the limit of fast mass transport.
