Reference number : GC-2017-Q1-00352, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Taghavi, Seyed Mohammad (Université Laval), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Aluminum products are increasingly used in Canada and worldwide in automobiles, aircraft and many other_x000D_
applications. One of the key elements in the production of aluminum is Hall-He´roult process, which is the_x000D_
major industrial process for smelting aluminum. One main problem in this process is the occurrence of fluid_x000D_
interfacial instabilities within the Hall-He´roult reduction cells, due to gravity waves modified by intense_x000D_
electric/magnetic fields. There are many parameters that can affect the stability of the flow, e.g., magnitude of_x000D_
various forces, density difference, fluid layer thicknesses, wall friction coefficient, etc. In this research project,_x000D_
we develop a mathematical modelling approach to analyze the flow stability to finally predict and prevent_x000D_
