In this paper we present the analysis of a full three dimensional transient two-phase flow with strong desequilibria. This analysis uses a finite volume scheme with a density perturbation method recently developed. The application test case is a three dimensional extension of a one dimensional experiment on blowdown pipe. The results are stable with mesh refinements and show realistic three dimensional effects.
