Does anyone know of a suitable software package that can be used for slurry, two phase flow and networks

Recommended for you

Are you considering steady state network flows, only, or are you also interested in transient flows?
 
For Slurry go to Georgia Iron works and see there Slysel program.

For two phase flow Sinda/Fluint, presumbly you mean gas/liquid?

For network analysis AFT's Fathom Sharing knowledge is a way to immortality
 
Mainly steady state network flows, however transients my be useful in certain applications.
 
The University of Kentucky civil and mechanical engineering department has developed comprehensive and inexpensive hydraulic programs dealing with slurry and network flow as well as transient flow (surge analysis). They offer regularly scheduled training sessions and siminars on the use of the programs.

For simple water/air or "black-oil" two-phase flow modeling, there are several published correlations (Lockhart-Martinelli, Dukler-Eaton, Beggs-Brill, etc.) that can give good results on simple systems. If you need compositional analysis, heat balance, and/or network analysis, try one of the major commercial packages (PipePhase, PipeSim, PipeFlo, etc.)
 
you should buy a copy of my new book

Baha Abulnaga: "The Slurry Systems Handbook" - McGraw-Hill 2002
It contains lots of programs in quickbasic and worked examples
