Hydraulic transport is commonly employed in the mining industry to transport crushed ore to a processing facility. Dense slurry flows inflict heavy wear on pipes, leading to significant process downtime and loss of revenue. Several factors have been identified as key contributors to pipe wear. ...

Experimental Investigation on the Turbulence of Particle-Laden Liquid Flows in a Vertical Pipe Loop
DownloadSpring 2016
The turbulent motion of particles and their interactions with the turbulence of the carrier phase make a complex system. Hence understanding the physics and consequently developing a well-stablished model becomes very difficult. With insufficient computational power to numerically resolve all the...

Response and Recovery of Turbulent Pipeflow Past Wall Changes Targeting Distinct Azimuthal Fourier Modes
DownloadFall 2021
This study focuses on numerical evaluation of the response and recovery of turbulent pipe flow to three-dimensional perturbed wall changes at a range of Reynolds numbers. These perturbations (pipe inserts) were designed based on distinct azimuthal Fourier modes corresponding to $m=3$ (Case I),...
