Surface erosion is a critical factor in the design and operation of components in particulate
handling services. It affects their performance, reliability, and service life. In spite of decades …

Powder transport systems are ubiquitous in various industries, where they can encounter
single powder flow, two-phase flow with solids carried by gas or liquid, and gas–solid–liquid …

Abstract A CFD–DEM-based liquid-particle two-phase flow erosion prediction model
occurring over such pipeline connection as elbows, which takes the interaction of liquid …

Bends are potentially most problematic in a hydraulic conveying pipeline system. This paper
presents a numerical study of hydraulic bends, with special reference to the interaction …

Different flow regimes may take place during hydraulic conveying but are not fully
understood. This paper presents a numerical study of the horizontal hydraulic conveying of …

Pipeline hydraulic transport is a highly efficient and low energy-consumption method for
transporting solids and is commonly used for tailing slurry transport in the mining industry …

This study is performed to investigate the erosive degradation of pipe bends by the action of
slurry particles. The purpose of this research is to better elaborate how the particulate …

This paper presents a numerical simulation for dense particulate flows with coarse particles
in inclined pipe to identify different flow regimes by means of computational fluid dynamics …

In the production and gathering process of natural gas with the high sulfur content, due to
the variations in temperature, pressure, and other factors, sulfur dissolved in the gas may be …

A new numerical procedure is proposed to analyse solid particle erosion caused by slurry.
The procedure works involves two mechanisms. First, high-concentration particles are …
