Physical Scale Model experiments for the Development of Closed-Loop DeAmping

conference paper
Electric signature experiments have been conducted using a Physical Scale Model with uncoated
steel patches, bronze propellers, active and passive corrosion protection and reference cells. The goal of these experiments was to validate numerical models TNO has developed. An inverse model was developed, aimed towards estimating the electric signature at code depth. The estimate is based on reference cell potentials and active anode currents impressed by the corrosion protection system. In this paper, the results and analysis of the scale model experiments will be shared. The results will be used in the development of a CLDA (Closed-Loop DeAmping) system. The research presented in this paper was funded by the Netherlands Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO). The research has been carried out in close cooperation with the companies Corrosion BV (www.corrosion.nl) and RH Marine (rhmarine.com). Their contributions are greatly acknowledged. Furthermore, the work presented here is part of the CSSM project ESAMEX, a cooperation between WTD71 (GE), DRDC (CA), FFI (NO) and DMO & TNO (NL).
