Abstract
Integral results in terms of local atomic phenomena require combined simulations to understand corrosion and corrosion inhibition reactions on an atomic level. Atomistic simulations are best suited to model intermolecular forces along with their influence on corrosion kinetics. However real corrosion phenomena are in a much larger macroscopic length and time scales. Therefore techniques bridging the scales are greatly needed.
