Abstract
ABSTRACTConsidering a large number of higher solids concentration iron ore slurry pipelines operating across the world and their associated problems, the present study aims to generate an extensive experimental dataset from the pilot plant test facility and to carry out computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for better understanding of the flow behavior in such pipelines. The paper has presented experimental data of 12 µm iron-ore slurry flow cases through 105 mm pipe with flow velocity range 1.35–5.11 m/s and efflux concentration range 2.63–31%. The obtained results are validated using CFD using appropriate model. In addition, qualitative analysis of iron-ore slurry flow cases using simulated results has been presented.
