Liquid-liquid Flow through Pipe and Pipe Fittings: Expeimentation and CFD Analysis

Liquid-liquid flow finds a number of applications in chemical petrochemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, there is a growing interest to transport heavy crude by utilizing a particular distribution of oil and water known as core annular flow. Despite the increasing applications, the literature on liquid-liquid flow is relatively scarce and the present work attempts to investigate the physics of flow through extensive experimentation and numerical analysis.
