In the published experimental results, it has been observed that when high-speed steam spurt into the subcooled waterflow, the total pressure along the axial direction at trailing edge of the steam plume shows a pressure-lift. To reveal the mechanism behind this phenomenon, this study utilizes a particle model to investigate the pressure profile of steam jet condensation in subcooled water flow in a narrow pipe. A numerical model based on the Eulerian−Eulerian multiphase model has been developed to accurately simulate the characteristics of pressure profile along the axial direction. The model’s validity is established by comparing the steam plume shape and temperature profiles with the experimental data. By analyzing the total pressure profile of the axis and the contours of gas volume fraction, it is found that there exists a pressure-lift phenomenon at trailing edge of the steam plume. The dynamic pressure of the water also shows a pressure-lift at this position, so it can be inferred that the dynamic pressure of the water is the main factor of the total pressure-lift.
