Abstract
The computer code FIDAS-3DT, developed by Power Reactor & Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation of Japan, has been used to solve by the finit e-difference method an air-water horizontal annular flow problem based on two-phase, three-fluid and two-component velocity modelling. In an attempt to improve the water flow rate results, as compared with thos e of a reported experiment, several corrections applied to the code ar e investigated, and the recommended technique is presented.
