A discrete vapor bubble model is developed to simulate the unsteady cavitating flows. The mixed vapor-liquid mixture is modeled as a system of pure phase domains (vapor and liquid) separated by free interfaces. On the phase boundary, a numerical solution for the phase transition is developed for compressible flows.
