A common way to transport solids in large quantities is by using a carrier fluid to transport the solids as a concentrated solid/liquid mixture or slurry through a pipeline. Typical examples are found in dredging, mining and drilling applications. Dependent on the slurry properties and flow conditions, horizontal slurry pipe flow is either in...

This study is the first to experimentally show two wave mechanisms regarding density wave amplification with long horizontal slurry transport. There is bed-driven and suspended-driven density wave amplification, in which the grain size determines which mechanism is dominant.<br/><br/>Density wave amplification in hydraulic pipeline transport...

The feasibility of installing a suction system, which consists of a pump and pipeline for transporting sediment from the sediment trap to the reallocation site to complement the water injection dredging (WID) method is accessed in this thesis. The combination of a suction system and a water injection dredger is called central suction-WID system....

We revisit the laminar–turbulent transition of a fine-grained slurry in a large pipe. The combination of long measurement times in an industrial-scale facility and ultrasound imaging allows us to observe and address anomalous trends. Under turbulent conditions, the flow is homogeneous and steady. However, under laminar conditions, two types of...

Transportation of slurries over a distance has always been one of the main objectives for the dredging industry. To accomplish a transport, centrifugal dredge pumps and mixture pipelines need to be perfectly intertwined. For the centrifugal dredge pump, available information is relatively scattered or confidential. The performance of a...

Deep-sea mining is becoming more popular. The Atlantis II Deep is a deep sea mining field of metalliferous muds in the Red Sea. This field could be exploited by transporting the sediments through a pipeline laid from shore onto the sea bed to the field. From determined concentrations with their shear stress-shear rate relation, parameters for...

In dredging applications, deep sea mining and land reclamation projects typically large amounts of sediments are transported through pipes in the form of hyper concentrated (40% sediment or more) sediment-water mixtures or slurry. These slurries can flow at three different regimes. 1: fully suspended (homogeneous and stratified) 2: partially...

Manganese nodules have been lying on the deep sea soil for centuries before they became known. The first ones to discover the nodules were Murray and Renard, during their scientific cruise between 1872 and 1876 (Murray and Renard, 1876). The Clarion-Clipperton Zone, located between Mexico and Hawaii, appears to have a virtually inexhaustible...

Little is documented in literature regarding hydraulic processes in inclined and large diameter pipelines. The bulk of the previous research dates back 20 to 50 years and was done for small diameter pipelines of up to 150 mm.<br/><br/>This research focuses on gathering data and testing the existing models and ideas with regard to large diameter...

At large oceans depths (5000m) manganese nodules are formed, these are rock shaped objects that contain various rare earth metals, Royal IHC is currently developing equipment to bring these nodules to the shore. The nodules will be transported to the water surface using a Vertical Transport System (VTS).<br/><br/>In the VTS insight of the...

Different approaches are present in literature for slurry transport in inclined pipes. Most models assume that the socalled solids effect, the hydraulic gradient of the mixture minus the hydraulic gradient of the carrier liquid, has to be multiplied by the cosine of the inclination angle to a certain power. These powers vary from 0.25 to 1.7. In...

Most concentration distribution models are based on the advection diffusion equation for two-dimensional (2D) channel flow. These models may or may not incorporate hindered settling based on the cross-sectional averaged spatial volumetric concentration. These models also use a diffusivity based on the turbulent momentum diffusivity, sometimes...

Models for modeling slurry flow present difficulties on long lines with large pipe diameters and with broad graded sands or gravels. In order to get more insight into the slurry flow process, the Delft Head Loss &amp; Limit Deposit Velocity Framework has been developed that integrates the 5 main flow regimes of slurry transport: fixed or...

In dredging, trenching, (deep sea) mining, drilling, tunnel boring and many other applications, sand, clay or rock has to be excavated. After the soil has been excavated it is usually transported hydraulically as a slurry over a short (TSHD’s) or a long distance (CSD’s). Estimating the pressure losses and determining whether or not a bed will...

In slurry transport of settling slurries in Newtonian fluids, it is often stated that one should apply a line speed above a critical velocity, because blow this critical velocity there is the danger of plugging the line. There are many definitions and names for this critical velocity. It is referred to as the velocity where a bed starts sliding...
