Top: Concentration of ${\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+}$ and normalized velocity vectors at $t=10\mathrm{s}$ in the domain part below the magnet (blue: radial extent). Left—${\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+}$ case $u_{\max }=0.03\mathrm{mm}/\mathrm{s}$), right—${\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+}+{\mathrm{Mn}}^{2+}$ case ($u_{\max }=0.05\mathrm{mm}/\mathrm{s}$). Bottom: Corresponding evolution of the thickness of the copper layer.
