... erosion was presented. In addition, fully open valve is the most common condition in transport systems. Thus, the erosion phenomenon in this case needs more attention and research. In this paper, through CFD-DEM simulation that considers the force between particles, the DES turbulence model based...

... discrete element method (CFD-DEM) simulation was conducted to study the solid–liquid two-phase flow characteristics and erosion characteristics of a butterfly valve with a different opening. Findings Abrasion at 10% opening is affected by high-speed jets in upper and lower parts of the pipeline, where...
