Numerical study of dispersed oil–water turbulent flow in horizontal tube

In this paper, the three-dimensional flow of two immiscible liquids in a horizontal pipe has been investigated numerically. The transient numerical simulations of two-phase dispersed flow in a pipe (of ID = 0.0024 m) have been carried out using commercial CFD package FLUENT 6.2 in conjunction with m...
