Forecasting of Erosion Rate in Tee-Junctions for Liquid-Solid Flow via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

This work intends to forecast the influence of parameters such as particles size, stream velocities and tee-junctions diameter towards an erosion rate of a tee-junction in light crude oil (C19H30)-solid (sand) flow. A commercially available ANSYS Fluent 2020 R1 (Academic Version)-computational fluid...
