Hello Everyone,

Objective: To simulate Gas-liquid 2 Phase flow in FLUENT based on experimental data, and compare with respect to experimental data for a channel with a sudden area of expansion.

I'm running the FLUENT 2 Phase flow (gas(Nitrogen)-liquid(Water)) Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model, RSM (Reynold's Stresses 5 equation model) model for turbulence calculations.

it's 2D steady-state analysis.

Boundary Conditions: inlet: pressure Inlet, Outlet: pressure Outlet, Volume fraction is used for consideration between phases. (Values for boundary conditions are taken from Experimental calculations)

Outcome: Computed Pressure Drop is lower than the experimental pressure drop across sudden expansion.

Why is it showing lower pressure drop compared to experimental value?
How can I get exact pressure drop value for expansion channel?
