Mathematical and numerical study of a corrosion model

In this paper, we consider a PDE system arising in corrosion modelling. This system consists in two convection-diffusion equations on the densities of charge carriers and a Poisson equation on the electric potential. Boundary conditions are Robin boundary conditions. We discretize each equation by a finite volume scheme and we prove the convergence of the scheme towards a weak solution to the initial system. Finally, we provide numerical results describing the behaviour of the solutions with respect to an applied voltage.
