A Preliminary Experimental Investigation of Wet Fine Erosion in Two-Phase Flow

Solid particles below 62 μm is classified as fine. In oil producing operation, the most commonly used downhole sand screen can only capture solid particles of 140 μm and above. Most predictive erosion model is limited to particle size of 100 μm with single phase flow assumption because it is comm...
