Hello,

I am having trouble with yet another numerical experiment and hope that somebody can give an advice.

Basically, I am injecting gas into oil using the 2pnc model. I took the Spe5 fluid system and removed the water phase and the water component from it. So I am left with 6 components (C1, C3, C6, C10, C15, C20) and two phases (gas, oil). I use the Peng-Robinson EOS that is provided in DuMux in link with Spe5.

Initially, the reservoir contains only oil phase, and gas phase is injected, as in Table 5 in the SPE5 paper [1].

What I am getting is

Calculating the gasPhase composition failed. Initial {x} = {0.166667 0.166667 0.166667 0.166667 0.166667 0.166667}, {fug_t} = {1.07818e+07 2.01958e+06 28947.1 4787.76 362.543 7.82472}, p = 3.33396e+07, T = 344.261

The gas phase actually does not appear in the reservoir (not in my simulation, anyway, since the simulation stops almost instantly). I will be grateful for any pointers and also to answers to the following questions


1. Why it is necessary to solve the composition for gas phase when the gas phase does not exist in the reservoir and only one phase (oil) is present? I see the code in 2pnc/volumevariables.hh

   if (phasePresence == secondPhaseOnly) { ... ComputeFromReferencePhase::solve() ... }

and do not understand the idea behind it.


2. If I manage to run the simulation to the point where phase presence changes from "oil" to "oil + gas", can I (in this particular case) rely on the built-in TwoPNCPrimaryVariableSwitch?


Best regards,

Dmitry
