Abstract

The existence of defects in oil and gas pipelines will cause rapid changes in local area fluids where the defects located, which during oil and gas transportation may lead to pipeline corrosion failure. For understanding the nature of this phenomenon, the corrosion behavior of defects in CO₂saturated NACE solution was studied via wire beam electrodes (WBE)- and electrochemical impedance spectroscope (EIS)-techniques, meanwhile, the relevant corrosion mechanism of defects located in different regions in the flow field was analyzed by means of the hydrodynamics modules of the so called "COMSOL Multiphysics". The results show that the variation of flow field on defects in different locations may lead to different appearance of corrosion there. The areas nearby the upper and lower edges of the defect may be subjected to large turbulent kinetic energy and wall shear stress, which may naturally act as anode, hence are suffered from serious corrosion. On the other hand, the bottom area of the defect and the area far away from the defect may act as cathode due to small turbulent kinetic energy and large boundary layer thickness, thus the corrosion progresses slowly there. With the extension of the flow corrosion time, the corrosion of the upper and lower edges of the defect becomes more serious, as a whole, defects have a tendency to expand and deepen vertically.

Key words: materials failure and protection defects WBE electrochemical CO₂ corrosion mass transfer wall shear stress
