Abstract

This paper discusses the calculation of potential distribution of impressed cathodic protection (CP) models with non-linear polarization curves. We propose a relaxation iterative algorithm for the non-linear problem and prove both theoretically and numerically that this iterative sequence is convergent for any physical polarization curves. This feature is of significant importance in developing a computer code for the design of CP systems. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
