Developments in the wind industry reveal intricate engineering challenges, one of them being the erosion on the leading edge of the wind turbine blades. In this review work, the main issues for the wind industry in the experimentation with respect to erosion are examined. After a historical and general overview of erosion, this review focuses on the rain erosion on the leading edge of the wind turbine blades giving prominence to (1) the rain simulations, (2) experimental erosion facilities, and (3) variables to characterise erosion. These three factors have to be improved to establish a research field enabling the prediction of erosion behaviour and providing useful information about how the rainfall affects the leading edge of the wind turbine blades. Moreover, these improvements in the experimentation of the erosion would be a first step to understand and predict the erosion damage of the wind turbine blades. Finally, this review work also will help to cope with experimental investigations and results in the rain erosion on the leading edge with a deeper critical thinking for future researchers.

“…The obtained results enabled predicting erosion and allowed for understanding the irregular eroded wall shape. Arefi et al (2005) developed a code named "erosion simulator" for transient simulation of the erosion of any 2D tool geometry. Their results offered some advices for minimizing the erosion of drilling tool.…”

“…This is critical point of transition zone for drill string according to the minimum speed theory (Ebrahim et al, 2013;Xiang et al, 2010). In the field of oil & gas drilling and development, research on the erosion wear of throttle, reamer and drill string have been carried out (Arefi et al, 2005;Zhu et al, 2012;Zhu et al, 2010), but there is little study on erosion wear of drill string at key point in gas drilling. In order to study erosion wear of drill string at key point, the failure of drill string is investigated first.…”

Erosion wear at the key point of a drill string is very severe in gas drilling. The investigation shows that failure of drill string is very serious in gas drilling. The probability of failure of the drill pipe and the drill collar is the highest in all the drill string, and the near placement of pin and box is often damaged. According to the investigation of drill string failure and erosion theory, the erosion model of drill string is established. The erosion rate at the key point of a drill string is solved using the Grant and Tabakoff formula. Different factors, such as gas injection volume, rate of penetration (ROP), cuttings' diameter, cuttings' shape factor, cuttings' number, and temperature of the annulus, are considered. The result shows that the erosion rate at the key point is more severe than that of other locations on the drill pipe. Because of higher peak stress for a drill string with eroded wear, there is a more serious effect on the residual strength of a drill string with eroded wear. Crack forms easily, due to severe erosive wear and deeper pits. Also, fracture failure of a drill string is caused by larger axial load and torque. In this paper, analysis of such influencing parameters as gas injection volume, ROP, cuttings' particle size, cuttings' shape factor, cuttings number and temperature of the annulus is conducted, among which gas injection volume, ROP and cuttings number are proven as the main controlling factors that affect the erosion wear at the key point of a drill pipe.
