Abstract: One commonly used method for determining oil and gas production velocities is to limit production rates based on the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 14E (API RP 14E). This ...

Abstract: The determination of a representative particle impacting velocity is an important component in calculating solid particle erosion inside pipe geometry. Currently, most commercial computational fluid ...

Abstract: Erosion damage in the pipe wall due to solid particle impact can cause severe problems in fluid handling industries. Repeated impact of the suspended small solid particles to the inner wall ...

Abstract: Erosion is a complex phenomenon that depends on many factors such as fluid properties, solid particle properties, flow stream velocity, flow geometry, and type of metal. Flow modeling and ...

Abstract: A comprehensive procedure that combines mechanistic analysis and numerical simulation approaches is proposed to estimate the erosion in elbows for gas/liquid/sand particle multiphase flow systems. ...

Abstract: Predicted erosion patterns on the surface of a pipe fitting can now be obtained using a technique implemented into a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. This comprehensive erosion prediction ...

Abstract: Predicting erosion resulting from the impact of solid particles such as sand is a difficult task, since it is dependent on so many factors. The difficulty is compounded if the particles are ...

Abstract: Zhang et al. (2006) utilized computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to examine the validity of erosion models that have been implemented into CFD codes to predict solid-particle erosion in air and ...
