In the natural gas pipeline transportation system, the series elbows is particularly susceptible to erosion due to its special structure and the sand-producing characteristics of natural gas. The erosion behavior of the series elbows is affected by multiple factors, among which the length of the connecting pipe between the two elbows is a variable that cannot be ignored. For this reason, the computational fluid dynamics(CFD)-discrete phase model(DPM) numerical simulation method was used to study the erosion behavior of the series elbows at different spacings of sand-containing natural gas. The results show that when two elbows are installed in series, the corrosion morphology and rate of the second elbow are greatly affected by the distance between the two elbows. With the increase of the length of the middle section of the series elbow, the corrosion morphology of the first elbow is V-shaped, but the corrosion morphology of the second elbow gradually changes from a triangle to a V-shape. In addition, due to the influence of gravity on the migration trajectory of sand particles, the area with the most serious erosion and wear of the second elbow is 5° to 8° behind the upstream elbow. By analyzing the multi-angle section flow field of the second elbow, it is found that the airflow generates a more complex secondary flow at the second elbow after passing through the middle section. Therefore, the maximum erosion rate of the second elbow decreases first and then increases with the increase of the length of the middle section of the series elbows. The research results can provide certain theoretical guidance and basis for optimizing the engineering design and erosion prevention of the double elbow system.
