Effect of interphase forces on two-phase liquid: liquid flow in horizontal pipe

A two-fluid model (Eulerian-Elurian model) is used to simulate dispersed two-phase immiscible liquids (oil-water) in a horizontal pipe. Effect of interphase forces (drag, lift and turbulent dispersion) is discussed. In the present study water is considered as dispersed and oil as continuous phase. T...
