CFD Corrosion-Erosion Failure Prediction

My process-piping circuits in an oil & gas service are beginning to show uneven wall loss and experience recurrent leaks, and I need a focused CFD corrosion-erosion study that pinpoints where failure will most likely initiate. Scope • Build a 3-D CFD model of the specified piping runs and flow paths. • Use the material properties and flow-condition data I will supply to simulate erosive particle impingement, wall shear stress, and corrosion-erosion coupling. • Generate a risk map that highlights high-rate thinning zones and ranks them by remaining life and likelihood of rupture. Key objectives – Predict failure points with enough accuracy to guide inspection planning and spool replacement. – Quantify local wear rates (mm/yr) and correlate them to process duty cycles. – Provide practical mitigation advice (geometry tweaks, velocity reduction, coating options). Deliverables 1. Simulation files (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+ or OpenFOAM) with all boundary conditions and turbulence/erosion models documented. 2. A concise technical report (PDF) including methodology, mesh/solver settings, convergence checks, contour plots, sensitivity runs, and recommendations. 3. A spreadsheet of predicted wear rates and safety factors for each line segment and fitting. Acceptance criteria • Mesh independence demonstrated (<3 % change in peak wear rate between final two grids). • Mass-balance error <1 % across all cases. • Wear predictions reconciled against any historical thickness readings I provide, with variance explained. All input data will be shared once the NDA is signed, and I am ready to field any clarifying questions so the modelling starts on solid ground.
