: With the advancement of technology and the optimization of engineering processes, research and development, computer simulation is an important tool to analyze complex problems and predict physical phenomena in a relatively simple and fast way. The objective of this study, using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology available in the Ansys® software, was to simulate a two-phase flow, composed of water vapor and coal particles, flowing through an aluminum pipe. Through this simulation, obtain data regarding the erosion suffered, as a result of turbulence and friction of the flow. Through these results, it was possible to verify the places where erosion is most prevalent and predictable. Parallel to the erosion analysis, with the total pressure data from the system, it was possible to compare the erosion rate with the maximum pressure in the pipe and verify that the location with the greatest wear is also the one with the highest incidence of pressure.
