Abstract

The hyperbolicity breaking condition of the two-fluid model correspond to the illposedness is investigated to be a tool to correlate the hydrodynamic parameters with the interfacial area concentration. From the stability condition of the two-fluid model furnished by the interfacial pressure force based on the curvature of the bubble, the stability condition of the interfacial area concentration is derived. The powers of the correlation are determined based on Hibiki-Ishii model and the present model naturally deduced the reason of density ratio in the formulation. The formulation derived here clearly showed the correlation of the interfacial area concentration with the viscous number, the Laplace length scale, the density ratio, and the void fraction. It was found that the present formulation can successfully explain the system pressure effect on the IAC and partial explanation of the flow regime transition based on the instability of the system.
