Influence of elbow orientation on solid particle erosion for multiphase flow

Erosive wear of equipment in hydrocarbon and mineral processing pipelines can occur under multiphase flow. The 90° elbow configuration is a common flow changing device in the pipeline network used to redirect the flow direction. This paper highlights a CFD approach to study erosion-induced damage i...
