Abstract

A new model for the two-phase flow channels was developed using the drift flux representation. As such, stability and bifurcation analysis were performed using the bifurcation analysis code BIFDD. The stability boundaries and the bifurcation characteristics were determined in Nsub-Npch operational space. Results of the bifurcation analysis along these stability boundaries clearly show that both sub- and supercritical PAH bifurcation are expected.
