The operating conditions of refining equipment are complex,where the flow-induced corrosions occur frequently.Com-putational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)is a numerical simulation technology for flow fields that is cost-effective and efficient.It can provide reliable flow field information for both corrosion analysis and corrosion protection.The basic principles of CFD technology were introduced,and its application status in petrochemical enterprises were summarized regarding to its usage in the fields of corrosion analysis,corrosion assessment,residual life evaluation,parameter optimization and process anti-corrosion measures op-timization.Furthermore,the merits and demerits of CFD technology were discussed.
