In this paper is presented the application of the Method of Fundamental Solution (MFS) to obtain the solution of Laplace equation with linear boundary conditions to describe the distribution of potentials in corrosion cells. The results obtained by this method are compared with another numerical method, in this case finite element. As case of study takes the interior problem analyzed by McCafferty (1). In which two concentric electrodes placed in bottom of a cylindrical container, creating a galvanic cell. The results obtained by the MFS present a good agreement with the calculated by finite element.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
