Abstract

A numerical approach for simulating piping erosion is proposed based on an auto-adaptive moving mesh. This approach adapts a flownet mesh (FM) to discretize the domain. It reduces the simulation of two-dimensional transport of moving particles to one-dimensional problem by taking advantages of flow tube concept. Furthermore, it employs a stepwise procedure to decouple the solid-liquid interaction equations for modeling piping erosion. Specifically, the FM is updated and evolved automatically in accordance to simulated erosion since the flownet is refined in high-velocity regions, where the piping erosion progresses. Therefore, the FM is auto-adaptive to the piping erosion paths.
