Overview of the User’s Guide
The Corrosion Module User’s Guide gets you started with modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics. The information in this guide is specific to this module. Instructions how to use COMSOL in general are included with the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.
As detailed in the section Where Do I Access the Documentation and Application Libraries? this information can also be searched from the COMSOL Multiphysics software Help menu.

Electrochemistry Interfaces chapter describes the Cathodic Protection, Primary Current Distribution, Secondary Current Distribution, Tertiary Current Distribution, Nernst-Planck, Current Distribution, BEM, Electrode, Shell, and Electroanalysis interfaces.
Corrosion, Deformed Geometry Interfaces chapter describes the Corrosion, Primary and the Corrosion, Secondary, and the Corrosion, Tertiary Nernst–Planck interfaces.
The Chemical Species Transport Branch
Chemical Species Transport Interfaces chapter describes the Transport of Diluted Species, Transport of Diluted Species in Porous Media and the Surface Reactions interfaces.
The Fluid Flow Branch
Fluid Flow Interfaces chapter describes the Brinkman Equations, Darcy’s Law, Free and Porous Media Flow, Brinkman, and Free and Porous Media Flow, Darcy interfaces.
Heat Transfer
The Heat Transfer chapter describes how electrochemical heat sources can be coupled to heat transfer, and the theory for how these are calculated.
Level Set and Phase Field
The Level Set and Phase Field chapter describes physics interfaces that can be used for modeling geometries undergoing topological changes as a result of electrode deformations.
The Multiphysics Coupling Nodes
The Multiphysics Coupling Nodes chapter describes the coupling nodes available under the Multiphysics node for coupling various electrochemical interfaces using potential or space charge density couplings, for example.
