Aiming at complicated flow field of Y-shaped pipe in pump piping system and risk of ore leakage in conveying test for deep sea mining, numerical simulation was performed by using CFD-DEM method for ore particles with different velocities, different volume concentration and different particle sizes. Based on that, the movement features of particle groups and flow field distribution pattern in Y-shaped pipe were all analyzed. It is found that the flow field distribution in Y-shaped pipe is influenced by the curvature of pipe elbow and the flow distribution in the inlet of Y-shaped pipe. The particle groups flow against the inner wall of elbow, and deflect upward under the influence of upward flow. If upward flow with lower velocity, particles with large grain size and high volume concentration will hit the bottom of pipe, leading to some losses. As the upward velocity decreases and both particle volume concentration and grain size increase, more and more particles will be continuously lost on the bottom of pipe. Due to the existence of particle flow, both intensity and scale of the low-pressure vortex region in Y-shaped pipe become weaken.
