Numerical Analysis of Flow Erosion on Sand Discharge Pipe in Nitrogen Drilling
In nitrogen drilling, entrained sand particles in the gas flow may cause erosive wear on metal surfaces and have a significant effect on the operational life of discharge pipelines, especially for elbows. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations based code FLUENT is carried out...
