Numerical simulation for erosion effects of three-phase flow containing sulfur particles on elbows in high sour gas fields

Sulfur particles carried by high-speed flow impact pipelines, which may cause equipment malfunctions and even failure. This paper investigates the scouring effect of mist gas containing sulfur particles on elbows in highly sour gas fields. The multiphase-flow hydrodynamic model of the 90° elbow was...
