Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes: activating a control unit coupled to a chamber in which a lab environment is being created to include at least one splash zone as seen by an offshore oil and gas platform, wherein a lab environment accommodates a mock structure that resembles a construction characteristics of the offshore oil and gas platform; generating, in the lab environment, the at least one splash zone that immerse, at least in part, the mock structure so that varied levels of immersion are created in the splash zone; generating, in the at least one splash zone, waves that impact the mock structure, wherein the generated waves mimic actual waves that impact the offshore oil and gas platform; monitoring, using a set of electrical resistance (ER) probes, a spatial pattern of surface polarization inside the splash zone; and comparing the spatial pattern of surface polarization with a benchmark.
