Experimental analysis of the unit cell approach for two-phase flow dynamics in curved flow channels

Flow behavior of gas–liquid mixtures in thin channels has become increasingly important as a result of miniaturization of fluid and thermal systems. The present empirical study investigates the use of the unit cell or periodic boundary approach commonly used in two-phase flows. This work examines th...
