In our thesis, we conducted a comparison of how different geometric structures influence two-phase flows. First, we listed various types of structures and identified their key properties that could affect the behavior of two-phase flow within them.
Next, we modeled the flow behavior in these structures using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. These simulations allowed us to study flow patterns, pressure distribution, and interactions between the two phases in each structure. The results of the CFD simulations provided insight into how the geometry of individual structures influences flow stability and efficiency.
Following the simulations, we selected certain structures for which we created 3D models suitable for 3D printing. After printing, we conducted physical experiments and compared the obtained results with those from the CFD simulations.
We evaluated the structures based on their shape and their ability to maintain a stable flow profile during two-phase flow. We analyzed factors such as resistance to flow, the ability to maintain phase distribution, and flow stability under different conditions. The experiments enabled a more comprehensive understanding of the performance of the structures, validated the simulations, and provided insights into how geometric properties affect the actual behavior of two-phase flows.
