The work is devoted to the analysis of the flow of immiscible liquid in a flat channel and the creation of calculation schemes for determining the flow parameters. A critical analysis of the well-known Two Fluids Model was carried out and a new scheme for the determination of wall and interfacial friction, called the hydraulic approximation in the theory of stratified flows, was proposed. Verification of the proposed approximate model was carried out on the basis of a direct numerical solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for each fluid by a finite-difference method with phase-boundary tracking by the VOF (Volume of Fluid) method. The graphical dependencies illustrating the change in the interfase boundaries of liquids and the averaged over the occupied area of the phase velocities along the flat channel are presented. The results of comparative calculations for two-fluid models are also given, according to the developed model in the hydraulic approximation and direct modeling. It is shown that the calculations in accordance with the hydraulic approximation are more consistent with the simulation results. Thus, the model of hydraulic approximation is the most preferred method for calculating stratified flows, especially in cases of variable volumetric content of liquids.

The Mean

We derive equations for the mean entropy and the mean internal energy in low-Mach-number temperature stratified turbulence (i.e. for turbulent convection or stably stratified turbulence), and show that turbulent flux of entropy is given by$\boldsymbol{F}_{s}=\overline{{\it\rho}}\,\overline{\boldsymbol{u}s}$, where$\overline{{\it\rho}}$is the mean fluid density,$s$is fluctuation of entropy and overbars denote averaging over an ensemble of turbulent velocity fields,$\boldsymbol{u}$. We demonstrate that the turbulent flux of entropy is different from the turbulent convective flux,$\boldsymbol{F}_{c}=\overline{T}\,\overline{{\it\rho}}\,\overline{\boldsymbol{u}s}$, of the fluid internal energy, where$\overline{T}$is the mean fluid temperature. This turbulent convective flux is well-known in the astrophysical and geophysical literature, and it cannot be used as a turbulent flux in the equation for the mean entropy. This result is exact for low-Mach-number temperature stratified turbulence and is independent of the model used. We also derive equations for the velocity–entropy correlation,$\overline{\boldsymbol{u}s}$, in the limits of small and large Péclet numbers, using the quasi-linear approach and the spectral${\it\tau}$approximation, respectively. This study is important in view of different applications to astrophysical and geophysical temperature stratified turbulence.
