Abstract: Nowadays, it has become a trend to process inferior high-acid crude oil, but there is significant naphthenic acid corrosion in the refining of high-acid crude oil. In order to clarify the effect of high velocity and strong turbulence on naphthenic acid corrosion, naphthenic acid corrosion experiments were carried out under different scour angles, and the velocity and turbulence intensity simulations under different scour angles were also performed. The results show that under different scouring angles (0—90°) there are significant changes in the flow field on the surface of the sample, and the velocity increase and local turbulence are localized. The corrosion rate of naphthenic acid under high velocities and strong turbulence is related to the turbulence field formed in different scouring angles. As the scour angle increases, the maximum corrosion depth tends to increase. When the scouring angle is 90°, the local corrosion depth increases significantly. At 90° scouring angle, the naphthenic acid corrosion can be transformed from the localized corrosion form to local pitting morphology. Pitting corrosion originated from the preferentially corroded pearlite and expanded and merged into macro dish-shaped pitting pits under the action of high flow velocity and strong turbulence.
