This paper is devoted to a brief review of some problems arising in the NEPTUNE project, whose main objective consists in preparing a new generation of two‐phase flow codes covering the whole range of modelling scales for nuclear power plants. Focus is given on multi‐phase flow modelling and on the unsteady coupling of existing codes. Some recent results are displayed and a few open problems are discussed in the manuscript. A draft version of this paper has been presented as an invited lecture during the FVCA4 meeting. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
