“…Many studies are available on the hydraulic transport of conventional solids, i.e., sand, glass beads, etc., through inclined pipelines (Al-Mutahar, 2006;de Vreede, 2018;Matousek et al, 2018;Rai, 1972;Shook et al, 1974;Vlasak et al, 2018;Vlasak et al, 2019b). The flow of solids-water mixtures through inclined pipes is more complex than in horizontal and vertical pipes because in inclined pipes the phases can separate and slip at the same time (Polanský, 2014). Pipe inclination affects the flow characteristics (i.e., pressure drop, concentration distribution across the pipe cross-section, velocity profile, the deposition limit velocity, etc.)…”
