Abstract

The so-called mixed flows in pipes include two-phase stratified regimes as well as single-phase pressurized regimes with transitions. It is proposed to handle those configurations numerically with the compressible two-layer model developed in [7]. Thus, a fractional step method is proposed to deal explicitly with the slow propagation phenomena and implicitly with the fast ones. It results in a large time-step scheme accurate in both regimes. Numerical experiments are performed including convergence results and academical test cases.
