Marine sediment pumps are extensively applied in marine engineering fields with complex media and harsh flow conditions. Therefore, this study conducts a multi-factor optimization design for a marine sediment pump. The response surface optimization method is utilized to improve the efficiency by optimizing the number of impeller blades, the blade inlet angle, the blade outlet angle, and the blade wrap angle. Next, a response s...

Tee pipes are widely utilized in pipeline transportation, especially in subsea production systems and the chemical industry. The purpose of this research is to study the influences of gravity direction, conveying parameters and particle properties on the erosion distribution in tee junctions. Investigation using the CFD-DEM coupled method is conducted on the flow mechanisms and erosion characteristics in a tee junction under d...
