Abstract/Description
-
The influence of hydrodynamic parameters and cathodic polarization on the formation of calcareous deposits on a steel plate in flowing seawater is investigated. Current density variations on the plate are determined for a combination of applied potentials and seawater velocities. Equations are developed to relate the cathodic current density distribution to variations in hydrodynamic and diffusional boundary layer thickness along the plate for laminar and turbulent flow regimes. A comparison...
Show moreThe influence of hydrodynamic parameters and cathodic polarization on the formation of calcareous deposits on a steel plate in flowing seawater is investigated. Current density variations on the plate are determined for a combination of applied potentials and seawater velocities. Equations are developed to relate the cathodic current density distribution to variations in hydrodynamic and diffusional boundary layer thickness along the plate for laminar and turbulent flow regimes. A comparison of experimental current densities on a bare plate to that predicted by theory is examined. Effects of flow on the formation and properties of calcareous deposits are discussed in light of recent developments in marine cathodic protection.
