Abstract:Using the method of coupling computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM),on the basis of model verification and grid-independent verification,the wear of 90° elbow when hydraulically conveying non-spherical granular materials was studied.The internal mechanism of pipeline wear was studied through the results of motion trajectory,flow state,and solid volume distribution during the transportation of particles with three different length-to-diameter ratios.The results show that under the same conditions,the larger the particle aspect ratio is,the larger the wear area and the more serious the wear.The wear rate at the elbow increases with the increasing of the central angle.The increasing trend of the wear rate in the range of 70°~90° is more obvious,and reaches the maximum value at 90°.When the particle sphericity is different,the maximum wear rate of the three-sphere combined particle is about 2.4 times that of the single-sphere particle,and the wear at the outer arch of the elbow is more serious than that at the inner arch.When the aspect ratio of particles changes,particles with large aspect ratios are more likely to gather at the top of the pipe when they leave the elbow,resulting in increased elbow wear and increased wear area.
