Abstract

Wear is a problem that is often encountered in the production process. It can cause erosion in the production section of the pipe. Wear and tear can cause erosion resulting in leakage in the pipe, so it is necessary to predict erosion on the elbow pipe. In this study, CFD modeling on ANSYS 19.1 application was used to predict erosion in air flow with variations in undulation and combined with a twist configuration can reduce erosion in the elbow pipe. This is to determine whether the modeling with a certain number of undulation and combined with a twist configuration can reduce erosion in the elbow pipe. Changes in flow greatly affect the rate of erosion because they can affect the interaction of particles with the wall and the speed of impact. The final result of this research is that the pipe with the 3-undulation variation reduces erosion by 38%, while the pipe with the 5-undulation variation reduces erosion by 22% compared to the planned pipe.
