A linear stability analysis is performed for a two-phase flow in a channel to demonstrate the feasibility of using momentum flux parameters to improve the one-dimensional two-fluid model. It is shown that the proposed model is stable within a practical range of pressure and void fraction for a bubbly and a slug flow.
