Abstract: For numerical simulation of phase transition in multicomponent solutions it is often used general Black oil model. In the study of the numerical instabilities of the model it has been discovered that they can arise from the mismatch thermodynamic functions near the critical point of solutions, which is known to be physically unstable by nature. All measured values because of fluctuations occurring in this region have significant measurement errors, leading to significant misalignment of model parameters and respectively, to the numerical instabilities. We propose a physical approach to simulation such problems. It is explained some of the reasons for inaccurate of Black oil models.
