PhD Title: Mathematical modelling of erosion-corrosion of metallic materials in aqueous slurries

Particulate erosion-corrosion in aqueous slurries is a major problem in many industries ranging from off shore to health care environments. In such cases, mathematical modelling involves many variables ranging from parameters relating to the impacting particle, the target and the nature of the corrosive environment. The purpose of this work is to develop a predictive model of erosion-corrosion which enables the construction of erosion-corrosion maps for a range of metallic and composite based materials. Materials selection maps are being generated based on the results. The model will be tested against laboratory results from erosion-corrosion test rigs in the department.
