I was thinking of a similar approach using concentric cylinders. But this would affect the circulation and prevent even dispersal unless stirring were used. The advantage of open wire is it allows free dispersal and no stirring is needed at low currents. Even with round wire, my experiences with stirring showed the cs was less effective than without for the same current density and number of Coulombs transferred. As you point out, the key would be to find the wear pattern. If the thickness diminishes evenly, it may be a good idea. If it simply wears from the bottom, then it is no better than cut rods. As you mentioned some time ago, your rods using round wire with a "U" at the bottom wear evenly. This is a good indication of uniform current density and low particle generation.
