Abstract
A disclosed method for a hydrocarbon production system includes collecting production system data. The method also includes performing a simulation based on the collected data, a fluid model, and a fully-coupled set of equations. The method also includes expediting convergence of a solution for the simulation by reducing occurrences of non-physical attributes during the simulation. The method also includes storing control parameters determined for the solution for use with the production system.
