Abstract
A flow splitting junction of a pipeline network for a two-phase fluid is internally fitted with a static mixer, a multi-duct stratifier and a divider wall. The turbulent fluid exhausted from the mixer is separated by the stratifier into two separated sets of alternating laminarly flowing strata to be discharged to opposite sides of the divider wall as two separate fluid streams of the same gas-liquid ratio which are conducted into separate downstream branches of the junction.
