Flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) behavior of X65 steel gradual contraction pipe in high CO
2 partial pressure environments was investigated by in situ dynamic high pressure …

The aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of excessive penetration of welding
and natural gas impurity particles on increasing erosion in elbows and reducers. To this end …

In many practical situations the erosive wear process until failure may last several months,
with the eroded surfaces gradually changing their surface topology. The geometry …

Reducers or contraction pipes are commonly used in various pi** systems that involve the
transport of fluids containing solid particles. Erosion experiments are performed for a …

The accurate prediction of particle tracking using computational fluid dynamics is crucial for
industrial processes. This study enhances the Euler-Lagrangian particle-tracking method by …

Abstract Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used extensively in the industry and
academia for analyzing the motion of solid particles and the associated solid particle erosion …

Sand production is becoming a growing issue for oil and gas operators around the globe.
Operators are faced to increase production of oil and gas, which may cause or worthen sand …

Sand production is challenging integrity issue that should be monitored to prevent
interruption in the oil and gas production facilities. On the other hand, the limitations in the …

A closed-loop experimental facility was designed and constructed to study the sand erosion
process in a mixed type ESP, which is referred as MTESP in this dissertation. Four sets of …
