two separated liquid "phases/flows"

Hi,
I am trying to model a flow of 2 liquids (both water) through a channel filled with air. I want them to spread in different directions (see below), which I tried by defining different momentum source terms. In my simulation the two water phases always mix up and flow downwards only (just the y-direction). I set up the eulerian multiphase model with 3 eulerian phases (air, water1, water2). At my inlet I set the volume fractions of both water phases to 0.5 and the same velocity. Do I have to set any phase interactions I forgot or use the discrete phase model to get a result as shown below? Thank you in advance! |

The water|water part is not a multi-phase problem. This part alone (ignoring the air) you could solve using the species transport model, not the multi-phase model. You might even be able to simulate this using a passive scalar approach to track the different waters. This is an odd setup.
What are your boundary conditions? And what drives the flow? Is gravity enabled or what? I just can't follow the setup. |

Hey,
sorry for my late response. Thank you for your advise with the species transport model. I will have a look. My boundary conditions: I have one inlet zone at the top with both water phases flowing into my channel equally (volume fraction = 0.5) and a velocity of 0.01 m/s. The bottom of my channel is a presure outlet. The rest is wall. I want to model the flow over two inclined planes and flow is driven through gravity (like in the picture). Because the x-component of the gravity is different for both planes i try to model this a source term. My two water phases just dont split up. |
