A thorough analysis of the characteristics of a multifluid turbulent mix model in the case of one-dimensional two phase flows is presented under various physical circumstances. It has been found that the new hybrid multifluid turbulent mix model has all real characteristics if either real or turbulent viscosity is present. When real viscosity vanishes, the model still has all real characteristics for zero relative motion between fluids. For nonzero relative motions between fluids, the model will have all real characteristics if the disordered motions and turbulent viscosity together are generated with the nonzero relative motions simultaneously. The implications of the results are further discussed.
