What is it about?
The rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) provides well-defined electrolyte movement in turbulent flow. This review provides information gained over 45+ years on RCE construction, characteristics and applications in fields including chemical industry, marine engineering, protective coatings and petrochemicals. Fundamental studies of fluid flow, mass transfer and corrosion techniques are illustrated by examples.

Why is it important?
Both fundamental laboratory studies and industrial applications are considered, the RCE providing a complementary tool to the rotating disc in laminar flow. Bench top studies of flow corrosion and mass transport are much easier than the use of a flow loop.
Perspectives
The review has been informed by Walsh's 45+ years of international experience as a research group director, corrosion engineer and consultant; it is complemented by the diverse experience of the authorship team.
