Dear Expert ....
I wanna ask you one question about the stability calculation in Flash ...if someone can explain how Eclipse is using Michelson method to get if the phase is stable or not ..... as I have learned ....it depends on the minimum Gibbs energy ....but I am still confused

Your help is much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Wahat do you mean by stability. In reservoir simulation, there is a term called : Eqilibrium. If you mean that term please tell me

stability means that if the phase gonna be at its lowest Gibbs energy in only one phase or it will split on two phases to minimize this energy...... It's different from the equilibrium which is used to initialize a solution in the reservoir simulation .... here I am talking about the flash calculation....

Thanks
