The phrase "alternate flow" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts such as software development, process documentation, or any scenario where different pathways or options are being discussed.
Example: "In the event of an error, the system will redirect users to an alternate flow to ensure they can still complete their tasks."
Alternatives: "alternative path" or "different route".
Mixing in microsystems, combining alternate flow with obstacles, is studied by numerical methods.
Scenarios have basic and alternate flow of events through a use-case.
BMSCs and transfected BMSCs were seeded within the scaffolds by using an alternate flow perfusion system and implanted into non-critical size defects in New Zealand rabbit femurs.
The numerical model was found to represent the existing flows quite well, so the model was then used to investigate alternate flow configurations.
Advantages of using these fractal-like flow networks versus parallel-flow networks include lower pressure drop, lower maximum wall temperature, inlet plenum symmetry, alternate flow paths, and pressure recovery at the bifurcation.
Simulations show that the layers of high and low solute concentrations, created by the alternate flow, are split into smaller chunks of fluid by obstacles inserted in the mixing channel, decreasing the critical mixing length.
A description of catalytic reactions in packed beds based on alternating flow model (AFM) is presented.
The alternating flow through the geotextile filter creates a cyclic flow regime quite unlike the uni-directional flow that has been extensively studied.
Computational fluid dynamics and simple scaling are used to develop a quantitative understanding of the alternating flow method of mixing using pressure driven flow.
While there is no unique "best reactor" geometry, a knotted reactor with knots of alternating flow directions and a serpentine II design with greater horizontal than vertical spacing performed well over a large range of flow rates.
Due to nonlinearity of their characteristics, nozzles exhibit an increase in time-mean pressure drop across them if an alternating flow component is superposed on the basic steady flow.
