Numerical computation of phase separation in two fluid flow

A new iterative approach is outlined for multidimensional computational analysis of two-fluid flow. Parametric surveys are described to illustrate that the method rationally predicts separation of two fluid flows under gravitational and centrifugal influences. A comparison is made between behavior computed by the method, and results reported in an experimental study of air and water flowing in elbows and pipes. 25 references, 4 figures.
