Cathodic Protection with Anode Deformation

Application ID: 102631


This tutorial models the cathodic protection of an oil rig structure during a time period of 15 years.

As a result of the consumption of the sacrificial anodes, the protective capabilities system are reduced over time.

The anode shape change in the model is defined by using the Level Set interface, coupled to the anode dissolution rate defined by the Cathodic Protection interface.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
