The purpose of the present study is to improve a numerical prediction method for multiphase flows based on the three-fluid model. Conducted were (1)improvement of a numerical method, (2)survey and examination on constitutive equations for mass transfer terms in annular-mist flow, (3) survey and verification of constitutive equations for momentum transfer terms, (4)collection of experimental database on steam-water and air-water annular-mist flows and numerical analyses of the database to verify the prediction method, (5)extensivc survey on expelimental techniques for annular-mist flow and (6)examination on the governing equations. As a result, the following conclusions were obtained: (a)multi-fluid modeling for all flow regimes were completed, (b)numerical stability of the three-fluid model was darified, (c)stability-enhanced solution method was developed, (d)ill-posedness of the equation system was revealed, (c)a physically-rational and well-posed multi-fluid model was proposed for dispersed flows, (f)systematic survcy and evaluation of constitutive equations for entrainment and deposition were conducted and summarized, (g)a theoretical method for evaluating film thickness, interfacial shear stress and wall shear stress was presented, and (h)it was confirmed that FIDAS-1DS can accurately predict critical heat fluxes under atmosphelic pressure, and that it can givc qualitatively good predictions concerning film thickness, droplet flow rate and so forth of the air-water annular-mist flow.

The authors have conducted a series of axial and torsional biaxial fatigue/creep-fatigue tests with :304 stainless steel at 550 C and obtained the following conclusions, (1)A fatigue life under nonproportional loading reduces to 1/2-1/3 of that under proportional loading. (2)The life reduction under nonproportional loading can be accouted for by path-dependent Mises type equivalent strain range. In this report, the results of creep-fatigue tests under proportional and nonproportional loading are examined. The following results were obtained. (1)A creep-fatigue life under nonproportional loading reduces to 1/2-1/5 of that under proportional loading. (2)Stress relaxation occurs towards origin proportionally (to the point where axial and torsional loads are zero) even under nonproportional creep-fatigue loading. (3)A creep-fatigue life under nonproportional loading can resonably be evaluated based on the fatigue properties and the creep properties obtained under uniaxial loading conditions, using the path dependent Mises type equivalent strain range and Mises equivalent stress.
