Characterization of MHD convection in thin cell electrodeposition

International audience; We are studying the effect of a magnetic field normal to the cell in electrodeposition of zinc arborescences. When the cell thickness is reduced, the MHD convection, responsible for morphology changes, spiraling, etc. is suppressed, but in a high magnetic field there is still an effect maybe due to small-scale hydrodynamic convection or to the Lorentz force on the growing metallic branches, the "Laplace" force.
