Methods to Increase the Robustness of Finite-Volume Flow Models in Thermodynamic Systems

This paper addresses the issues linked to simulation failures during integration in finite-volume flow models, especially those involving a two-phase state. This kind of model is particularly useful when modeling 1D heat exchangers or piping, e.g., in thermodynamic cycles involving a phase change. I...
