... the solid particle erosion on the symmetry plane of elbows for annular flow. This model is a sort of generalized erosion prediction procedure, which resolves the erosion process into the description of the flow field velocity profile, particle motion rules, and penetration calculation. The 1/7th power law...

... viscosity using 3 different sand sizes 20, 150, and 300  μ m measured using angle-head ER probe The influence of flow pattern is clearly observed from this analysis. Irrespective of the liquid viscosity and the measurement location, annular flow creates more metal loss to the pipelines compared...

... that demonstrate pipe orientation can have a significant impact on the amount of erosion for annular flow. A semimechanistic model to predict erosion in annular flow is also outlined that accounts for the upstream flow orientation. Mazumder [( 11 )] performed erosion experiments under very similar conditions...
