Simulation of Slurry Flows in Pipelines for Prediction of Solid Deposition and Pressure Drop

Abstract

JGC has been developing a simulation method to predict solid deposition and pressure drop of slurry flows in pipelines with a shortened computation time. In this article, some case studies for validation of simulation methods by comparing the results of simulation with those of experiments are described. In addition, we have pointed out some considerations for the CFD simulation of slurry behavior.
