This paper predicts the effects of variety parameters such as particles size, stream velocities and elbows diameter on the erosion rate for an elbows in light crude oil-solid flow. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with commercially available FLUENT code (ANSYS 14.0) was applied to numerically pr...
