Test Case

This test case considers the horizontal stratified Poiseulle flow of two fluids between parallel walls. The interface between the two phases is located at half of the height of the channel.

Flow Domain

Material PropertiesGeometry Boundary Conditions

The two fluids have the same density.

Kinematic Viscosity

Fluid-1 = 0.1

Fluid-2 = 0.02

Dimensions of the domain:

2 m X 4 m

Periodic Boundary is used with a Pressure Gradient = -0.5 Pa/m.

Analysis Assumptions and Modeling Notes

The flow is steady. Deformation of the interface is not modeled.
