Calculation method for pipeline erosion process simulation based on large vortex simulation
By combining the large eddy simulation method with the WALE model and the Finnie erosion model, the problems of high computational cost and insufficient accuracy of existing simulation prediction methods are solved. This enables efficient capture of turbulent phenomena in pipelines, especially secondary flows in bends, at low cost, thus reducing experimental costs.

AI Technical Summary
Existing simulation prediction methods are difficult to apply and lack universality. Traditional methods such as DNS and RANS have limitations in terms of computational cost and accuracy, making them difficult to apply to complex turbulent motion.
A pipeline erosion process simulation method based on large eddy simulation was adopted, including mesh generation using ICEM software, setting boundary conditions and particle parameters, using the WALE model and Finnie erosion model, calculation using OpenFOAM software and post-processing using Paraview software.
It achieves high accuracy in capturing turbulent phenomena in pipes, especially secondary flows in bends, with low computational cost, reducing experimental costs and improving the accuracy and efficiency of simulation prediction.
