Abstract

In this paper, we discuss mathematical models and computational methods for computation of vapor-liquid equilibrium in systems relevant to reservoir simulation and optimization. We formulate the phase equilibrium problem as an optimization problem and discuss the UV-flash, the TV-flash, and the PT-flash. The UV-flash occurs for thermal and compositional dynamical simulation problems, the TV-flash occurs for compositional dynamical simulation problems, and the PT-flash occurs for steady-state problems.
