Abstract
The study of erosion caused by turbulent flow of slurries is crucial for designing and operating the flow handling systems, predicting their reliability and useful life. This research explores the capacity of ultrasound particle image velocimetry (UPIV) for determining the impact parameters of solid particles projected from turbulent slurry onto a target surface. A slurry pot configuration was employed, and it was equipped with two linear transducers observing the flow at radial and axial planes. Three levels of rotational velocity were tested corresponding to the linear velocity of the moving target of 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 m/s. For validation, the velocities and angles of individual particle impacts measured by UPIV were analyzed comparatively with analogous information derived by inverse analysis of effective wear scars using two deformation models. Velocity components measured by the two methods are statistically consistent for the two observation planes. The UPIV is concluded to present a new tool for the study of erosive wear with a focus on the slurry-target interface.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
