Three-dimensional large scale magnetohydrodynamic, two-phase flow, and electrochemical reaction coupling numerical simulations of alkaline water electrolysis with magnetic field were conducted to elucidate the bubble-bubble interaction and the influence of that on the overpotential. Numerical results shown that the magnetic field enhances the coalesce of bubbles and the bubble size was increased with the increase in the magnetic flux density. Moreover, the magnetic field suppressed the cell overpotential by suppressing the anode overpotential and ohmic overpotential. This is because, KOH concentration around the anode is increased by mixing of the electrolyte, and the reduction of the shielding effect by coalescing of the bubbles.

Three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic, two-phase flow and electrochemical reaction coupling numerical simulation of alkaline water electrolysis with magnetic field is conducted to estimate and reveal the mechanism of overvoltage suppression with the magnetic field. The numerical results shown that both vertical magnetic field to the electrode and parallel magnetic field to the electrode suppress the overpotential by the mixing of the electrolyte. This mixing is induced by the secondary flow in both cases. The overvoltage suppression is constantly increased with the increase in magnetic flux density in the case with parallel magnetic field, however, that is saturates in the case with vertical magnetic field to the electrode due to the bubble position is changed by the flow.
