For the realistic simulation of condensation induced water hammer (CIWH) in horizontal pipes resulting from the contact of steam at sub-cooled water, an appropriate model for the mass and energy transfer due to phase change is needed. For this purpose the tripartite mass transfer (TMT) model has been developed that is introduced in the present paper. The TMT model is based on the assumption of isentropic processes and accounts for vaporization due to flashing, condensation due to isentropic decompression (homogenous condensation) and direct contact condensation at the phase interface. The TMT model shall be considered as a frame for sub-models which may be arranged for the three above-mentioned phase change phenomena. The TMT model has been implemented in the one-dimensional two-phase pressure surge code DYVRO mod 3. A verification and validation procedure was performed based on experiments at test facilities in Oberhausen (PPP), Rossendorf (CWHTF) and Budapest (PMK-2).
