The present study presents a summary of the state of the art in our understanding of the phase distribution in horizontal, equal-sided, impacting tee junctions during two-phase flow. The currently existing data base was reviewed and the effects of different parameters on the phase distribution were investigated. These parameters include the inlet superficial velocities J_L1 and J_G1 the inlet pressure P₁, the inlet quality x₁, and the inlet momentum-flux ratio M_R. The available analytical models and empirical correlations were examined qualitatively and quantitatively against the data base. It is demonstrated that the available correlations and models have limited success in predicting the data. Therefore, the data base was divided into well-defined segments and the correlation or model that best predicts each segment was identified.
