Two-phase (Taylor flow) and curved reactors (Dean flow) are conventionally used to improve mixing in flow systems by reducing axial dispersion and narrowing residence time distributions. However, when the two flow regimes are superposed in bi-phasic flow in curved channels (Dean-Taylor flow), the result is poorly understood due to experimental and computational limitations, despite its widespread practical implementation. In this study, we introduce a novel high-efficient computational strategy to investigate Dean-Taylor flow providing highly detailed spatial and time-resolved data of the fluid dynamics of this flow regime.

Here we share the fluent journals (code) to create the Dean-Taylor inside Ansys fluent.
