RESUMO

The main objective of this work is to study the phase separation phenomena in a vertical tee. A two-dimensional computer code was used to solve the two-fluid model equations, using the finite volume method. A fundamental part is the development of simple model to viscous diffusion term, assuming laminar flow. Special attention is directed to the modelling of the constitutive equation for the interfacial friction term. The phase separation was simulated considering two values of branch-to-inlet diameter ratio, 0.5 and 1, according to reported experimental results . Detailed distributions of void fraction, pressure and velocity of both phases are presented. A good agreement was obtained between the computer code results and the experimental data, when the extraction rate was greater than 0.3. The mean deviation for these data was about 10 %. For lower extraction rate, a three - dimensional model would be more suitable. ln this case, the mean deviation for alI data was about 25 %, with a tendency of the split ratio to be under predicted.
