The governing equations describing the flow of an unequal phase velocity, equal phase temperature (UVET) seriated two‐phase continuum as derived by Solbrig and Hughes (1978) are solved in this article, in one space dimension. A simple implicit iterative solution procedure is developed to numerically evaluate the five non‐linear coupled field equations. Analytical solutions are developed, against which the computer code results are compared. The prototype UVET code results are compared to the equivalent equal phase velocity, equal phase temperature (EVET) code results for the same problem. Major phenomena such as phase flow reversal, counter‐current flow and flooding‐like behavior are predicted.
