Abstract: According to an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for modelling an electrochemical process is disclosed, the electrochemical process comprising treating a surface of an object in a container containing an electrolyte, the method comprising following steps: enclosing the object by a control surface; generating a mesh on the control surface; generating a mesh on the object; generating a mesh on the container walls, anode surfaces and electrolyte meniscus; generating a mesh of the electrolyte contained within the control surface; generating a mesh of the electrolyte surrounding the control surface and determining approximate and/or analytical solutions of partial differential equations describing said electrochemical process in each element of the mesh of the control surface and/or of the electrolyte.

Abstract: A device which is suitable for electrochemically processing an object comprises at least an electrolyte-containing chamber, means for supporting the object to be processed in the chamber, a counter electrode disposed in the chamber as well as means for applying an electrical potential difference between the object to be processed and the counter electrode. The device furthermore comprises at least one holder and at least one rod-shaped coelectrode supported by the holder, which rod-shaped coelectrode extends towards the object and which in use has a polarity opposite that of the counter electrode.
