Models which describe momentum exchange in two-phase, vapor-liquid flows are surveyed. These models are related to the momentum exchange coefficient formulations used in the SIMMER code. The result is a set of model-dependent exchange coefficients for various flow regimes. Criteria for flow regime transitions and experimental needs in momentum exchange modeling are also discussed.
