An approximate analytical model, to predict the two-phase damping for upward cross-flow through horizontal bundles, has been developed. This model will allow researches to provide analytical estimates of the damping ratios. The existing semiempirical approach by Pettigrew and Taylor (2003) was approximated by taking the lower envelope of the damping data. To estimate the void fraction for the cross-flow, the void fraction model proposed by Feenstra etc (2000) is utilized. The development of the present damping model stemmed from the two-phase multiplier of pressure loss and the momentum flux of the two-phase flow. The important variables on the damping are identified. The results of the present model agree well with experimental damping ratios in air-mixtures for a sufficiently wide range of pitch mass ratio, quality and p/d ratios. It has also shown predictive capability for steam-water mixtures and Freon 11.
