Abstract

This paper compares experimental data and numerical results in multip hase flows involving high pressure ratios such as water hammer transients. A two-fluid seven-equation model has been selected due to its ability to take into account all possible desequilibria between the two phases as well as vanishing phases. Theoretical properties of the model are underlined. A one-dimensional finite volume implementation of the two-fluid model is then compared to the experimental data of the Simpson and Canon experiments. Differences with the classical Baer and Nunziato model are also pointed out.
