SUMMARY:Wonderful World of SPE (Solid Particle Erosion) and Challenges in Erosion Testing and Modeling
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, June 16\, a seminar titled “Wonderful World of SPE (Solid Particle Erosion) and Challenges in Erosion Testing and Modeling” will be held in Grandori Room (Building 4) at 11:00 CET.\nThe seminar will be given by Prof. Siamack A. Shirazi\, Director\, Erosion/Corrosion Research Center\, The University of Tulsa.\n \nAbstract\nSolid particles entrained in fluids can impact pipelines and equipment causing wear and material removal.  In addition to interaction of particles with the carrier fluids\, particles interaction with solid materials makes this process highly complex and produces effects that are interesting and yet important to predict for practical engineering applications.  Solid particle erosion of pipeline and equipment depends on many parameters that can be categorized into three interacting components or elements:  One element is solid particles themselves that vary in shape\, size\, hardness and density.  Another important element is the materials characteristics such as hardness of materials\, ductility\, density\, and wear characteristics.  The last and certainty not the least is the carrier fluid properties and complexity of the flow regimes.  Interaction between these three elements are the most difficult to understand and model especially in multiphase gas-liquid-particle flows. Fluids and their interactions with solid particles add another order of magnitude in complexity for the prediction of solid particle erosion.\n\nBio-sketch\nSiamack A. Shirazi is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and the Director of the Erosion/ Corrosion Research Center (E/CRC) at The University of Tulsa (TU). He is also the Director and Co-Founder of the TU Sand Management Projects (TUSMP). Over his distinguished career\, Professor Shirazi has contributed to more than 770 professional outputs\, including peer-reviewed publications\, conference papers\, technical conference and invited presentations. Over the past 36 years at TU\, Professor Shirazi’s teaching and research have significantly advanced the state of the art in erosion mitigation for oil and gas\, mining\, and renewable energy applications. He is internationally recognized through the sponsorship of his research programs\, his extensive publication record\, and the delivery of short courses worldwide. Dr. Shirazi\, together with his students and colleagues at E/CRC\, has developed widely adopted models for predicting erosion rates and threshold velocities. These methods are implemented in the software package SPPS (Sand Production Pipe Saver)\, also known as the “Tulsa Model\,” which is extensively used by practicing engineers for facility design\, re-design\, and equipment sizing. As a result of contributions\, Professor Shirazi has received numerous prestigious honors\, including the NACE (AMPP) Technical Achievement Award (2013)\, ASME Fellow (2008)\, NACE Fellow (2015)\, the ASME FED Moody Best Paper Award (2017)\, the SPE International Projects\, Facilities\, and Construction Award (2018)\, the ASME Petroleum Fluids Engineering Award (2019)\, the University of Tulsa Best Researcher Award (2023)\, and the SPE International Distinguished Member Award (2025). He is currently ranked as the most cited active scientist at TU (and third overall in TU history) according to the AD Scientific Index.
