Corrosion Modelling with Cellular Automata bridges the gap between finer scales based on atomic physics and the larger-scale based on physico-chemical properties of materials and their environments. The book describes the simulation and modeling of corrosion phenomena by cellular automata and underlines the collaborative and interdisciplinary relationships that underpin them. It explores the major achievements that have been performed to date, covers basic knowledge on cellular automata and corrosion phenomena, and includes sections on CA modeling of generalized and uniform corrosion in 2D and 3D under various conditions, including aqueous environments and high temperature processes.
Finals sections present examples on the use of cellular automata for modeling localized corrosion as well as recent developments on intergranular corrosion. There is also a review on the use of CA for modeling pitting corrosion.
- Focuses on the use of cellular automata for modeling corrosion
- Covers recent advances in modeling generalized corrosion with cellular automata
- Illustrates how cellular automata can be used to model localized corrosion (pitting and intergranular corrosion)
- Spans various length scales from atomistic to mesoscale
Damien Féron has been Director of Research at CEA (French Atomic and Alternative Energies Commission) since 2007 and Professor at INSTN (The French School for Energy and Health Technology, University Paris-Saclay) since 2010. He has been working in the corrosion field for more than 40 years. He chaired the Working Party on Nuclear Corrosion (2003-2016) of the European Federation of Corrosion (EFC) and the Science and Technology Advisory Committee (STAC). He has been President of the EFC (2017-18) and the WCO (World Corrosion Organization) which is a non-governmental organization recognized by the United Nations (2019-2022). He has published more than 70 scientific papers and is editor or co-editor of 22 books or special issues in journals, mainly in the field of microbial corrosion, seawater corrosion and nuclear corrosion. During his career, he has received several national and international honors, including appointment as an Honorary Fellow from both NACE (USA) and the EFC, and the Lee Hsun Lecture Award in China. He was also nominated for the “Chevalier dans l’ordre des Palmes Académiques” (French National Honor) in 2017.
DI CAPRIO Dung is currently working as a researcher “Hors Classe” at CNRS in the Institute of Research of Chimie Paris (IRCP). He graduated from the “Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon” in 1990 and then went on to obtain his Ph.D in Theoretical Physics on “the study of critical phenomena in liquids” from the University of Paris VI. His research interests include modelling of complex systems at interfaces: electrical double layer, and nematic fluids using a statistical mechanics-based approach.
He also develops numerical simulations to study electrodeposition, corrosion and passivation phenomena using a cellular automata approach. He has published over 80 scientific papers
