摘要
To predict the corrosion rate of a hull surface in the dynamic marine environment and provide a reliable reference for anticorrosion design, a calculation model of flow-accelerated corrosion is established in this paper using numerical simulation. First, a computational fluid dynamics model is established for the seawater flow field around the hull; flow field information including velocity, pressure, and oxygen concentration distribution are obtained by calculation. Then, a flow-accelerated corrosion model of the hull in seawater is established based on these parameters. Finally, the model is solved, and the mass transfer coefficient and corrosion rate distribution of all points on the hull surface are obtained. Results show that the corrosion rates at the rear and lateral rear parts of the hull are significantly higher than those at the other parts owing to a higher concentration of oxygen at these parts. The corrosion rate increases with the increase of flow velocity. The maximum corrosion rate can be up to 22 mm/a under a no protective coating condition, and is much higher than that under the static state condition. Therefore, these two parts should be taken into full consideration so as to arrange the anode position rationally when cathodic protection is adopted.
