TI - Systematic Investigation of Two-Phase Flow in Special Channels T2 - Fluid Dynamics \& Materials Processing PY - 2022 VL - 18 IS - 4 SN - 1555-2578 AB - A systematic study of two-phase (water-air) currents in open channels (water-air) has been conducted by means of experiments and numerical simulations. A dedicated device has been designed and manufactured on purpose. The numerical simulations have been based on the solution of a system of mass, momentum and energy balance equations for a two-phase fluid. The effect of different influential parameters has been explored, namely, velocity and dimensions of the channel, surface pressure and tension.
