macatuk is on a distinguished road
I am studying the stratified flow in pipe, but I am not clear some points such this kind of flow, in which water lying on bottom and compressed Air flow on the top in pipe, and void fraction is 0.5.

To save time consuming, how can I choose to set up my model correctly in Fluent (Using Re-construct VOF), "Between using 2D model or Axisymmetric model"?

As I just found only that 2D model is used for studying the flow in channel, and Axisymmetric will be introduced when the geometry and flow condition are symmetry around axis.

So, anyone who has experienced such this flow condition, please help to clarify this for me too. Please!!!

Big Thanks!!!

Regards
Mac
