The high-speed flow of sand-carrying fracturing fluid through tee junctions causes severe erosion and affects the safety of the fracturing operation. This study improves the traditional computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method (CFD-DEM) to avoid the (dense particles) collision-leading ab...
