Abstract
This work investigates the hydraulic transport of solid particles with d=6mm flowing in a narrow elbow with 25.4mm-ID. The pipe consists of a horizontal section with a length of 3D, an elbow with a radius of 2D and a vertical section with a length of 5D. Elbows are ubiquitous in industrial pipelines and are subjected to erosion and blockage in the presence of solid particles. To assess particles behavior, it was used a resolved CFD-DEM method, which combines the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) and the discrete element method (DEM). Particles were inserted at a constant mass rate and fluid was inserted at a constant velocity. The behavior of this solid-fluid flow was investigated.
