Code for analysis of the water hammer in thermal-hydraulic systems is being developed within the WAHALoads project founded by the European Commission [1]. Code will be specialized for the simulations of the two-phase water hammer phenomena with the two-fluid model of two-phase flow. The proposed numerical scheme is a two-step second-order accurate scheme with operator splitting; i.e. convection and sources are treated separately. Operator splitting technique is a very simple and “easy-to-use” tool, however, when the source terms are stiff, operator splitting method becomes a source of a specific non-accuracy, which behaves as a numerical diffusion. This type of error is analyzed in the present paper.
