Chapters 2–4 and Appendix A (which contains complete code listing and the descriptions of input and output data) can be used for a one semester graduate or senior course for mechanical, nuclear, or aerospace engineering students.

In Chapters 2–4, the interfacial momentum transfer, the interfacial energy transfer and the high order damping mechanism introduced by the ﬁnite diﬀerence approximations tend to stabilize the calculations. On the other hand, researchers in the Theoretical3 Group of the Los Alamos National Laboratory believe that the problem will be resolved when one solves the partial diﬀerential equations by using ﬁnite diﬀerence methods. Since the partial differential equations of two-phase ﬂow system are hyperbolic, many scientists at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory insist that conservation equations should possess real characteristics to assure the well-posed nature as an initial-value problem.

The physical and mathematical formulations of two-phase ﬂow problems has been a controversial topic over the past 30 years. In this case permission to photocopy is not required from the publisher.ĭedicated to my wife, Sylvia and the children Alberta, Kavita Sharma, and Chung
