REGIME IDENTIFICATION OF SLURRY TRANSPORT IN PIPELINES - A NOVEL MODELING APPROACH USING ANN AND DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION

Four distinct regimes were found existent (namely sliding bed, saltation, heterogeneous suspension and homogeneous suspension) in slurry flow in pipelines depending upon the average velocity of flow. In the literature, few correlations have been proposed for identification of these regimes in slurry...
