Sulfur deposition can result in an increase in the wall thickness of high-sulfur natural gas gathering pipelines, leading to issues like unstable pipeline flow. It is crucial to reveal the aggregation of sulfur particles at key locations of high-sulfur natural gas gathering pipelines to predict the...
