Erosion in elbows is one of the most important issues in pipeline flow assurance for the oil
and gas and mining industries. In this study, slurry erosion in a horizontal elbow and elbows …

Elbows are widely used in piping systems to change the direction of flow. However, it is also
extremely susceptible to erosive damage, which may lead to the leakage of petroleum and …

This paper presents the results of simulations of particle-laden air–solid jet flow in long
straight tubes using CFD-DEM, along with an analysis of coarse-graining. Although previous …

The slurry erosion processes of horizontal elbows are investigated numerically using an
Eulerian-Lagrangian method coupled with particle rebound and erosion model. First, a …

Gas–solid–liquid flows are central to many industrial and natural processes. This paper
investigates high-speed particle-laden water jets using both numerical and experimental …

This work presents a coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics-Volume of Fluid-Discrete
Element Method (CFD-VOF-DEM) framework for turbulent, particle-laden jet flows with a free …

Contractions and expansions are commonly found in various piping systems including flow
control in the oil and gas industry. They impose complex flow characteristics such as flow …
