Computational analyses of passive wet gas separation in branched piping

Understanding the behavior of two-phase flow through a T-junction is very important as it could potential contribute to massive cost saving in partial phase separation. The objectives of this paper focuses on the effect the inlet flow conditions on two-phase split efficiency under constant pressure...
