Abstract

This work presents a short account of some recent advances in the numerical simulation of backward erosion piping, accomplished in the framework of a collaborative research between Italian and French research groups. After a brief review of the state of the art in engineering practice and research, we outline the key points of a novel approach and show some of the results obtained in an extensive validation work.
