Coupled mixed-potential and thermal-hydraulics model for long-term corrosion of copper canisters in deep geological repository

Abstract Canister performance is a major issue for constructing reliable deep geological repositories for storing spent nuclear fuels, and corrosion resistance is main the factor determining canister durability. We developed a 2-D multiphysics model, which can predict both the corrosion rate and pot...
