The split of horizontal stratified flow at a large diameter T-junction
Phase split data have been obtained for a horizontal stratified flow approaching an equal diameter (0.127 m diameter) junction. In addition, the shape and position of the interface of the flow approaching the junction have been measured. The information has been combined to effect improvements to models to predict the phase split. The improved model gives good predictions for larger and smaller diameter T-junctions. Further improvements, particularly to remove empiricism, are required.
