Cathodic protection is an important method to prevent the corrosion of the tank bottom plate. In this article, the research status in recent decades of the current density and potential distribution of the tank bottom plate in cathodic protection is summarized. The research status and problems of the analytical and numerical methods for tank bottom plate are described and discussed. A detailed summary of boundary condition modeling is carried out. It is proposed that the analytical method will be gradually replaced by numerical methods and the mathematical model and boundary conditions need to be further studied and improved. In addition, the combined use of a variety of numerical methods and a numerical simulation study on the vapor phase corrosion related to tank bottom will be a trend in the development of numerical simulation in the future.
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.
