This thesis aims to investigate the transport processes in the electrolyte and the reaction kinetics at the electrode surface using numerical simulations in OpenFOAM. The influence of different electrode structures, reaction kinetics, species concentrations, and electrolyte properties will be systematically analysed with respect to concentration profiles, conversion rates, and reaction selectivity. In addition, the influence of a superimposed convective flow on transport and reaction behaviour will be examined.
