Wave propagation and nonequilibrium interphase processes in transient two- phase flows

A transient, one-dimensional, compressible, two-phase flow is studied. Two different flow regimes, dispersed and stratified, as well as momentum, heat, and mass-interphase processes are considered. Numerical solutions and calculation of wave speeds are shown for different flow conditions. Simple tests using analytical solutions for approximate flow conditions are introduced. Computational results are compared and found to be in excellent agreement
