This research is an experimental and modeling study of two and                  three-phase turbulent flows in branching pipelines.  Local phase                concentrations and interfacial areas per unit volume will be                    measured as well as the overall split of phases for various                     branching geometries and flow regimes.  Modeling will employ a                  tau-epsilon approach and population dynamics for coalescening                   and breaking drops to relate the interfacial area to                            hydrodynamic conditions.                                                                                                                                        The research might improve our capability to model multiphase                   flows such as occur in liquid-liquid or liquid-gas chemical                     processing, thermal hydraulics such as occur in nuclear reactor                 applications, and flow phenomena associated with accidental                     release of two-phase fluids.
