This paper aims to explore the impact of the order of numerical schemes on the simulation of two-phase slug flow with a two-fluid model initiation. The governing equations of the two-fluid model have been solved by a class of Riemann solver. The numerical schemes applied in this paper involve first-order (Lax-Friedrichs and Rusanov), second-order (Ritchmyer), and high-order (flux-corrected transport or FCT and total variance diminishing or TVD). The results suggest that the TVD and FCT are able to predict the slug initiation with high accuracy compared with experimental results. Lax-Friedrichs and Rusanov are both first-order schemes and have second-order truncation error. This second-order truncation error caused numerical diffusion in the solution field and could not predict the slug initiation with high accuracy in contrast to TVD and FCT schemes. Ritchmyer is a second-order scheme and has third-order truncation error. This third-order truncation error caused dispersive results in the solution field and was not a proper scheme.
