Abstract: The aim of this review is to clarify the mechanism and influencing factors of flow-assisted corrosion in multi-medium transmission pipelines for pipeline safety management, along with the progress in nondestructive testing in this vein. Such pipelines undergo severe flow-assisted corrosion under multiphase-flow, high-temperature, high-pressure, and complex chemical conditions, threatening structural integrity and operational safety. This study summarizes the dominating roles of aqueous wetting, mass transfer, and flow-induced shear stress in corrosion evolution and analyzes the coupling effects of hydrodynamics, medium chemistry, and material properties on corrosion deterioration. The applicational advantages and limitations of ultrasonic guided-wave, magnetic flux leakage, and eddy current testing in corrosion detection are systematically concluded. Future development trends combining artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital twins are projected, providing a reference for intelligent detection and full-life-cycle integrity management of transmission pipelines.
