With the development of Marine energy to the deep and ultra-deep-water field, the severe environment of high temperature and high pressure in the engineering background makes the problem of flow security in oil and gas transportation system more serious and prominent. For this part of the underwater production and processing system, more stringent requirements are put forward. In order to study the erosion of fluid pipelines such as oil and natural gas, the COMSOL ( A large-scale advanced numerical simulation software ) finite element model was used. Under the condition of different flow parameters, the erosion trajectory of solid particles in the pipeline and the erosion failure rule of the bend are obtained. In this paper, the erosion wear rate of 90° pipe elbow is calculated, and three different erosion models are compared.
