Numerical simulation in aluminum production envolves many different
topics, this paper is dedicated to some aspects of two of them. In the
rst part, a numerical approach for the computation of the motion of the
uids
in an electrolitic cell is presented, with an emphasis on a mesh deformation
technique to track the free interface during the time. In a second part, a model
for the simulation of alumina dissolution and repartition is exposed.
