This project focuses on modelling the moving boundary in                        electrodeposition and electroetching processes.  Models                         successfully predicting shape change effects in diffusion and                   migration dominated cases will be extended to include cases                     where convective transport is important, such as                                electrochemical deposition of magnetic material onto a                          rotating fixed-disk leaf.  Model development will be                            correlated with experimental studies.  A modified Galerkin                      finite element technique with a moving grid will be developed                   to solve the time dependent model with convection.                                                                                                              Many engineering applications in coating technology, crystal                    growth, selective epitaxy, electrochemical platting,                            machining, and corrosion involve a free and/or moving                           interfacial region.  Often the shape or evolution of the                        interface is of primary importance in processing, as in                         electromachining and electroplating.  This project singles out                  electrodeposition and etching systems, which are of great                       importance in the electronics industry.  Insights gleaned from                  numerical simulation and physical experiments on prototype                      systems will lead to increased fundamental understanding of                     these processes as well as insight into scale-up and operation                  of new generation techniques currently being developed.  After                  minor adaptation the numerical techniques being developed will                  be applicable to the other moving boundary/interface systems                    listed above.
