A computational fluid dynamics study on oil-in-water dispersion in vertical pipe flows

- 3D CFD model of oil-water pipe flow is developed by using ANSYS Fluent solver.
- The Euler/Lagrange approach for the fluid and droplet phases is employed.
- The shear-lift force is modelled through UDF code option as the external programme.
- The model is validated on the experimental data on oil-water two-phase pipe flows.
