Abstract
A CFD program FLUENT has been used to model the erosion-corrosion interactions in aqueous conditions for an elbow bend in a carbon steel pipe. Plots of various erosion models were developed in FLUENT and compared to mathematical predictions. Following verification with previous work, the FLUENT models were compared to each other over a variety of different parameter spaces. A corrosion model was then introduced which demonstrated the interaction between the mechanical and chemical degradation. Finally, the combined model was used to demonstrate the wastage experienced in the pipe at a range of flow temperatures.
