Mathematical and computational modelling of diffusion-driven material ageing

The University of Manchester Department of Mathematics

This project will consider systems of reaction-advection-diffusion equations both computationally and analytically. These find application to modelling corrosion/ageing in materials, where diffusion of a reactant into the bulk material and its subsequent reaction leads to the growth of unwanted corrosion products.
