Abstract

The paper presents the results of testing a methodology for calculating two-phase flows in mini- and microchannels. The numerical methodology is based on the known fluid-in-cell method (VOF method) and the CSF procedure to account for surface tension forces. Solutions of several test problems of two-phase flow in microchannels, including the water-oil emulsion flow and gas-liquid flow in microchannels of the T-type and the stationary slug flow in a circular minichannel, were considered with the aid of this technique. Comparisons of numerical results with experimental data were carried out. A good agreement between the results was obtained.
