Figure 1

Schematic representation of the T-shaped channel. a Global view of the channel. The blue trajectory, at a distance \(y_\text {f}\) from the inlet channel centerline, divides the domain in two regions corresponding to fractions of the fluid without particles that end up in the two outlets. The green trajectory, at a distance \(y_\text {c}\) from the inlet channel centerline, divides the domain in two regions corresponding to fractions of particles that end up in the two outlets. These two limiting trajectories have been drawn assuming that \(Q_1 < Q_2\). b Notation adopted for the domain boundaries. c Close view of the smoothed corners between the main and the side channels.
