The movement of the particles in a curved pipe is numerically analyzed by using random statistical method. The zones and rate of erosion on the wall in a bend are determined. The results are in accordance with the experiment, which indicate that the erosion is influenced by gas velocity, particle size and bend curvature.展开更多
