Numerical Simulation of Particle Impact Erosion within Electric Submersible Pump Based on Fluent

Abstract:

In the same well water flooding process, solid particles contained in the fluid often result in the impeller submersible electric pump to erosion wear. We use Fluent software to establish the model of flow field,and use numerical simulation method to analyze the erosion wear. We use the erosion theory to calculate the erosion wear rate,and verify the correctness by the contrast between the results of numerical simulation and actual value.
