INTRODUCTION • Separation of oil-water systems has long been an important research topic • Multiphase flow dynamic of these devices is a main phenomenon, which has great influence on efficiency and commercial compatibility of the entire process.
INTRODUCTION • Phenomenological models have earlier been widely used to describe such flows, but these simulations are not well suited for so called “scale-up” • up-to-date CFD tool may successfully simulate multiphase systems for a variety of conditions and pattern sizes without using prior experimental data for the concrete apparatus.
