In this paper, the phase separation rate in a two‐phase flow of non‐Newtonian power‐law fluid and gas bubbles flowing inside T‐ and Y‐junction channels with branch angles of 45° and 135° is numerically investigated. The numerical simulation is carried out using the random vortex method (RVM) for the Reynolds number of liquid phase at the inlet of the channel Rem = 250 for various power‐law indexes (n = 0.2–1.4). The result of this research represents valuable information about the effect of branch angle and also the power‐law index on the phase separation. The result shows that when increasing the branch angle, the phase separation is increased, while when increasing the power‐law index, the phase separation is decreased. The acceptable conformation between this study and the experimental results shows the capability of the evaluated method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
