Abstract

In order to optimize the performance and prolong the service life of the concrete material used in the dam, the corrosion evolution of the concrete material used in the dam was analyzed. Using FLUENT programming function, the concrete corrosion model of dam is established. The relevant parameters of the porous media model were obtained by the user defined function (UDF) module of FLUENT. Using polycarboxylic acid molecular structure to control the corrosion of concrete under the action of reservoir dissolution, a numerical simulation test was designed and the evolution process of concrete corrosion was analyzed. Mettler Toledo pH Meter was used to determine the pH value of the water sample. Water with different pH values was used as an accelerated condition for concrete dissolution. The experiment lasted for 30 days. The experimental results show that the material and concrete base plate treated by this method have good compactness, thus prolonging the life of concrete material.
