Numerical investigation is performed of the problem on stratified flow of two viscous incompressible fluids in a horizontal (and slightly inclined to the horizontal) plane-parallel channel. An algorithm is developed for the determination of the interface between fluids. The control volume approach and the SIMPLER algorithm are used to obtain the results. The following characteristic quantities are determined and analyzed in all versions of calculations for the water-oil system: flow field, pressure, fluid interface, friction on the channel walls, velocity profiles in the channel cross sections.
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.
