dc.description.abstractThis study aims to provide insights into the intricate interactions between gas and liquid phases within flow components, which are pivotal in various industrial sectors such as nuclear reactors, oil and gas pipelines, and thermal management systems. Employing the Eulerian-Eulerian approach, our computational model incorporates interphase relations, including drag and non-drag forces, to analyze phase distribution and velocities within a complex U-bend system. Comprising two horizontal-to-vertical bends and one vertical 180-degree elbow, the U-bend system's behavior concerning bend geometry and airflow rates is scrutinized, highlighting their significant impact on multiphase flow dynamics. The study not only presents a detailed exposition of the numerical modeling techniques tailored for this complex geometry but also discusses the results obtained. Detailed analyses of local void fraction and phase velocities for each phase are provided. Furthermore, experimental validation enhances the reliability of our computational findings, with close agreement observed between computational and experimental results. Overall, the study underscores the efficacy of the Eulerian approach with interphase relations in capturing the complex behavior of the multiphase flow in U-bend systems, offering valuable insights for hydraulic system design and optimization in industrial applications.en_US
