Corrosion is damaging to structures and infrastructure, costing billions of dollars every year. Understanding the corrosion process and how to mitigate it by applying the correct protection procedure can be crucial for reducing corrosion damage costs. Simulation is an efficient way to investigate corrosion processes and design protection systems by visualizing and understanding the impact of design changes.
During this webcast, the technology manager at COMSOL introduces the Corrosion Module and the basis of corrosion simulations with COMSOL Multiphysics by showing examples such as galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion, and cathodic protection.
About the Speaker
Bertil Nistad currently works as a technology manager at COMSOL in Norway, and has participated in the development of the Corrosion Module. Before he joined COMSOL in 2009, he studied at NTNU, where he received his PhD in electronics and metamaterials. In 2017–2018, he worked as a principal engineer at FORCE Technology on different tasks, mostly concerning cathodic protection simulations.
