Compressed air models not running in Flow

[EdmundStephens]

[v2023.10.0] We are running single cells and well / pipeline performance models for a compressed air energy storage investigation. (Adjunct to Windfarm curtailment and load balancing). Please can you suggest what is going wrong, if there are any --parameter-file settings that might help ?

These are single phase (GAS only) models, the model runs in Eclipse but not in Flow.
CAES_test1_Ecl.zip
CAES_test1_Flow.zip

The Flow run gives the following error:

When I put in a WATER phase, again this runs Ok in Eclipse but a different error is produced by Flow:

@EdmundStephens I believe the VFP input/calculations are set up for three-phase black-oil simulations, and have been adapted to work for oil-water simulations, but not currently for gas-water simulations. I was able to get CAES_test2_flow to run by adding a dummy OIL phase to the model. I also seemed to need to set --enable-adaptive-time-stepping=false.
