Abstract:
On the base of thermodynamically compatible systems theory the governing equations of gas-liquid combpressible pipe flow are formulated. The Runge–Kutta–TVD and Runge–Kutta–WENO high accuracy methods are developed for the proposed system. The computational model is used to solve a series of test cases demonstrating its efficiency and capability to be applied to slug flows modeling.
Keywords:hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, two-phase gas-liquid pipe flow, slug flow.
