Abstract Dedicated experiments and numerical simulations have been conducted to investigate the splitting characteristics of a gas-liquid two phase flow at a T junction. The experiments were carried out for different gas-liquid velocities. The flow rates in the two branches were measured accurately to determine how the two considered phases distribute in the two outlets. The experimental results have shown that when the two outlet pressures are asymmetric, the two-phase flow always tends to flow into the outlet which has a lower pressure. As the inlet liquid velocity increases, however, the two-phase flow gradually tends to split evenly. Compared with the… More >

Abstract Due to the complexity of multi-phase flow (MPF) phenomena research in this area is largely based on experimentation using laboratory scale test loops. The design of multi-phase flow test facilities is quite involved and requires careful attention. First, the test rigs have to produce results that are valid or can be scaled to actual full scale systems. This demands that the system geometry and dimensions, the flow drivers (pumps and compressors), flow controls (flow meters, pressure regulators, etc.) and the flow measurement sensors (pressure, temperature, velocity, ..etc) have to be selected so that a wide range of flow conditions can… More >
