Slurry pipelines are extensively employed in most mining operations to transport raw materials and tailings. The aim of the paper is twofold: on one hand, develop a generalized slurry flow model using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) better insight into complexity pipe flows, other surrogate for pressure drop predictions, which can be used simulation monitoring tools. A two-fluid based Eulerian-Eulerian approach along with SST k-ω turbulence was used. motion solid phase modeled by kinetic...
