A profusion of work is going on in the field of slurry flow regarding the rheological parameters of multisize particulate flow. It is an imperative part of the pipeline industry; moreover, we can say that the pipeline industry has some reliance on multisize particulate flow. Many investigators have carried out both physical and numerical modeling of the erosion of pipe bends, elbows, tees, and

The mixture of suspensions varies widely. They may be of stable, slow, or rapidly settling type. The rapidly settling-type suspension offers considerable difficulty in the determination of apparent viscosity due to quick phase separation. The hydrodynamic study depends on factors such as solid concentration, particle size, size distribution, surface characteristics, and slurry properties, so it is required to study the effects of individual properties for predicting the life of a pipeline and also to find methods to reduce pipeline wear. In this article, an attempt has been made to discuss the parameters mainly responsible for pipeline wear and to hydrodynamically study pipeline slurry flow along with a literature review of the work going on in this field to understand the extent to which the work has reached and the scope present in this field with which to work.
