Abstract
An in-line oil-water separator has been designed and is investigated
for single- and two-phase flow. Numerical single-phase
flow results show an annular reversed flow region. This flow
pattern agrees qualitatively with results from measurements. In
the two-phase flow simulations two different drag laws have
been used to model the interaction between the phases. The
velocity field of the single- and the two-phase flow is shown to
be very similar. However, the oil volume fraction distribution
is strongly affected by the choice of the drag law. Furthermore,
compared to experimental results for both drag laws the separation
efficiency is greatly overestimated
