Research of Particle Motion in a Two-Stage Slurry Transport Pump for Deep-Ocean Mining by the CFD-DEM Method

The slurry transport pump is the key equipment of deep-ocean mining systems. The motion law of coarse particles in the pump is not clear enough. In this paper, a hydraulic model of a laboratory-scale two-stage slurry transport pump is constructed, and the motion characteristics of coarse particles i...
