Study on Erosion by Built-In Pulse Impactor Based on Simulation.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The built-in pulse impactor used in oil and gas drilling often suffers from erosion issues, which reduce mechanical drilling speed and significantly shorten the drill bit lifespan. To address this, this study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with the discrete phase model (DPM) and DPM erosion model, combined with erosion theory, to simulate the erosion process. The computational domain includes the rotating body, housing, and internal flow channels of the impactor, with key structural parameters: external diameter 120 mm, internal flow height 23 mm, and flow channel angle 30°. Boundary conditions are set as follows: inlet velocity of drilling fluid ranges from 27.558 to 32 m/s, solid particle diameter varies from 0.074 to 0.11 mm, and particle mass flow rate (concentration) is 0.2-0.6 kg/s. The study analyzes erosion lifespan of different materials and identifies influencing factors. Results show that under high-pressure drilling fluid conditions, solid-phase particles cause significantly greater erosion than the liquid phase. Particle distribution is uneven, leading to accumulation in the rotating body, erosion damage intensifies over time, concentrating primarily at the flow channel outlet. CFD simulations indicate that 40CrMo has the longest erosion lifespan (525.47 h), outperforming 45 steel and Q235A. Regarding influencing factors: increasing fluid velocity (especially 30-32 m/s) and particle concentration (0.2-0.5 kg/s) significantly raises the erosion rate; larger particle diameters reduce the erosion rate, with the decreasing trend slowing when diameter exceeds 0.09 mm. The erosion rate is maximum at impact angle 30 °C. This study provides insights for reducing erosion and extending the service life of built-in pulse impactors.
