Pipeline erosion remain a major headache for petroleum industry with its underlying safety threats and financial integrity. The main objective of this research paper is to investigate sand erosion behaviour in 76.2?mm diameter with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). According to literature, simulation ...
Excerpts from Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) case study of a cantilever using OpenFOAM and DEAL.II with application to VIV, Johan Lorentzon, June 17, 2009: The Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) appears as a physical phenomenon in engineering such as static load, drag, and Flow-Induced Vibr...
Furthermore, two pipe designs considering 4 and 8 spirals were evaluated in order to quantify the swirl intensity on the elbow erosion reduction and the pipe lifetime. The main results of this study are: Acknowledgment The authors would like to acknowledge the financial support from the Petróleo...
The experiment would study the deposition of two types of particles representing metal and non-metal solid contamination commonly existing in the power fluid transmission systems. Considering the feasibility of the experiment and the appearance possibility of the particle contamination in hydraulic systems,...

In many industrial applications, sand erosion wear is the main cause of equipment failure, particularly in the transferring pipeline fittings. In order to reduce the adverse consequences of erosion in bends, in this study the potential usage of plugged tees instead of standard elbows under a wide...
A horizontal pipe of diameter 100 mm and length 1 m (10 times of diameter) is considered for the study. The stochastic model of Sommerfeld will be used to account the wall roughness of pipe. It is also observed that the erosion wear in the pipeline strongly depends on fluid velocity, ...
In the present study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool is used to simulate the erosion rate of sample plates in the liquid-solid slurry mixture in a cylindrical tank. The predictions were made in a steady state and also transient manner, applying the flow at the room temperature ...
To address these challenges, the PORO-CFD-DEM coupling model is established and validated in this study, and it is used to simulate the flow field, fluid-particles interaction and particle motion during the onset term of the sedimentation around a pipeline. To reduce the computational cost, most...
Therefore, the process of sediment transport, and the furthermore scour patterns, can be largely affected. In the present study, a modified numerical model of scour around a submarine pipeline, considering upward seepage effects, is proposed. The present model is based on a fully-coupled ...
