Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Transport Characteristics of Particle-Fluid Mixture in Y-Shaped Elbow

The Y-shaped elbow is used as a connecting pipe between the buffer and the lift pipe in the deep-sea mining system. After being mixed with seawater in the Y-shaped elbow, nodule particles are lifted to the sea surface mining ship via the lift pump. In this paper, we employ a computational fluid dyna...
