where W
c
and JF
D
are the removed mass of target material due to cutting
abrasion per single particle collision and that due to deformation abrasion per
single particle collision, respectively. The cutting and the deformation wear
generally occur simultaneous and they are often supposed to be independent
of each other so that the total ambient of

target.
W
T
can be
written as the simple sum of
those
two contributions. W

D
and W

have the
dimension of [kg/kg]. Three empirical constants, C

and C

in which all
subtle factors that affect the erosion process, such as the grain structures of
both particle and target material or the shape of particles should be absorbed.
The values of these constants obtained by the preliminary experiments were
0.15,
4 and 1.035 x 10". And£, E
p
and£
m
are the Young's module, in which
the subscript m is refereed to the target material, p is to the particle. I
p
is the
moment of inertia of particle. m
p
is the mass of particle, q is the Poisson's
ratio.
And V
p
and a is the incident velocity and the angle of particle.
Takehiko Yokomine et al made the numerical simulation of erosion of
gas-solid suspension flow in a pipe with a twisted-tape insert by using the
prediction method recently
[2.7].
The generated swirling motion of particles,
however, will have the possibility of crucial erosion damage on the pipe wall
and tape surface. In order to clarify the effect of
gap
width on the erosion and
quantify the erosion damage in the gas-solid suspension swirling pipe flow
with twisted-tape insert, numerical simulation of erosion was performed by
