Abstract
A computational model for an unsteady one‐dimensional gas–liquid flow taking into account gravity is proposed. The model includes the Zuber–Findlay relation and solutions of the Cauchy problem close to the solutions of drift models. It is shown that the effect of attached mass has a significant influence on the acoustic characteristics of the system of equations.
