Abstract
AbstractA phase redistribution model for annular flow divided in T‐junctions is developed. The model consists of two sub‐models accounting for phase distribution in the inlet to the junction and phase redistribution in the junction, respectively. In modelling phase redistribution in the junction, the dividing streamlines for each phase were determined separately assuming that the phenomena is mainly governed by the fluid inertia and pressure distribution in the junction. The overall model is capable of predicting phase redistribution in T‐junctions having horizontal inlet and any branch orientation. The predictions of this model and those of other available models are compared with experimental data. The predictions of the present model were found to be in better agreement with the experimental data than other available models and correlations.
