For the 0D-1D modelling of thermalhydraulics systems; it is common practice to use static mixing models to compute the mixing specific enthalpy in fluid junctions such as mergers or splitters. However; this simplification leads to a well known singularity when the mass flow rate inside the junction goes to zero. The origin of the singularity is explained; and a rigorous physical solution is proposed to eliminate the singularity. A prototype implementation has been developed in the ThermoSysPro library for power plant modelling that illustrates the interest of the proposed solution and enables to evaluate the computing overhead with respect to several possible variants.
