Abstract

The erosion is one of the main reasons of material destruction and equipment failure. This paper presents a numerical study of horizontal pipe erosion by the approach of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Take the typical structure of horizontal pipe as the research object, using the standard - turbulence model and erosion wear model to get wall erosion ratio for numerical calculation. And then the worn pipe model can be built based on the value. Research shows that in the cases of different shapes of cross-section of the pipe which is caused by erosion, the location of the wear area and the value of the erosion ratio are basically the same. The maximum erosion ratio appeared at the lower part of the inner wall of pipeline, and the erosion area was fan-shaped symmetrically located at the lower part of the inner wall of pipeline. According to the distribution characteristic, the side exchange was offered, which could enhance the service life of the pipeline by times.
