"Numerical investigation of wear modes due to the slurry flow in the oi" by Do Xuan Vinh Nguyen
The oil and gas industry, particularly in transportation and production, heavily relies on pipeline systems. It is an inevitable fact that petroleum products, such as oil and gas, extracted from wells always contain solid pollutants originating from various sources like dust, sand, and hydraulic fracturing operations. During operation, solid particles carried by the fluid flow continuously impact the pipeline walls, potentially leading to significant cumulative damage over time on the surfaces of the pipeline, fittings (elbows), or production equipment, gradually removing material from these s...
