A mathematical model for the dynamics of sediments in a pipeline

  • Chapter

Abstract

A steady incompressible flow through a pipeline is considered accompanied by sedimentation of impurities. Assuming that the sediment thickness is such that the main flow is not disturbed, a mathematical model is proposed which is able to describe how the sediment profile reaches its asymptotic profile.
