In order to study the influence of electric field on anode gas holdup in rare earth electrolytic cell,the FLUENT software secondary development function was used to build the electric model of rare earth electrolytic cell.And then numerical simulation was carried out of the correlation between the electric field and the gas holdup in the electrolytic cell.The distribution of the anode gas holdup with or without the electric field was compared.It is found that the gas holdup of no electric field loaded model is lower than that of electric field loaded model at the same anode height.The difference of anode gas holdup caused by electric field loading is the largest when the anode height is 0.250 m,and then the difference decreases with the increase of anode height.The results are more coincident with the actual operation situation of electrolytic cell,providing a theoretical basis for the further development of large rare earth electrolytic cell.
