Modelling of Cathodic Protection Systems (Advances in Boundary Elements)

The field of Corrosion Modelling has evolved tremendously since the first work was published in the early 1980'’s. Its initial application in the offshore industry has expanded to the point where modeling is applied in practically all application areas and the software has been developed to fulfill these needs. This book presents contributions from the most influential researchers and developers of corrosion modelling tools and users who apply the technology in their industry. Providing an excellent introduction to the state-of-the-art in computer modelling of corrosion and related electrochemical processes, this book will be of value to corrosion engineers and physicists, model developers and researchers.

The industry practitioner will find parts of the selection of articles in this collection extremely relevant. The researcher will find the advanced articles to be highly specific and relevant to those areas where the editor has been a prolific contributor. The collection is highly unique in their regard - as a unique area of applied mathematics, the articles treat the optimization problem viz. The BEM method, in a straightforward manner, without taking away form the significant aspects of corrosion. --Journal of Metals, May 2007
