Abstract: This paper presents correlations for predicting local solid concentration for pseudo-homogeneous and mildly heterogeneous solid-liquid slurry flows through horizontal pipelines using curve fitting techniques applied on exhaustive simulation data. These data are obtained using a duly validated Eulerian multiphase model whose applicability is ascertained for the slurry flow cases under consideration. The ranges of geometric and working input parameters of solid-liquid slurry flow analysed during the present research work are quite comprehensive and wide which increases the applicability realm of the derived correlations. These correlations are also verified against a new set of slurry flow cases and ascertained their accuracy.
