Abstract
The liquid droplet impingement (LDI) and the cavitation are major sources of pipe-wall thinning in the nuclear/fossil power plants. This paper describes the recent advances in the study of LDI and cavitation erosion of wall material, which cover the mechanism and the prediction method of wall-thinning. An attention is placed on the management of LDI erosion and the cavitation erosion in the actual power plant.
