The mathematical modelling of the electrodeposition phenomenon leads to a linear elliptic partial differential equation subject to non‐linear mixed boundary contitions. This is complicated further by the fact that the domain under consideration is evolving with time. Owing to the nature of the mathematical model, the boundary element method is a very efficient numerical technique for the solution of such problems. The authors report their numerical simulation of the above problem which also has applications in the cathodic protection systems for corrosion prevention.
