Atmospheric Corrosion with Mass Transport
Application ID: 104841
Atmospheric corrosion occurs when metallic structures are exposed to humid air forming a thin electrolyte film in the range of up to a few hundred micrometers.
The model presented here accounts for charge transport as well mass transport involving 10 species and 6 homogeneous reactions.
The model computes the transient and spatial distribution of species in the film, including the corrosion products.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® and
- either the Battery Design Module, Corrosion Module, Electrochemistry Module, Electrodeposition Module, or Fuel Cell & Electrolyzer Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
