Slurry Flow and Erosion Prediction in a Centrifugal Pump after Long-Term Operation

After long-term operation, the material loss due to slurry erosion often leads to significant changes in the impeller geometry. This change can, in turn, affect the flow characteristics and the erosion mechanism in a centrifugal pump. To investigate this matter, we consider two geometric models base...
