Petrolog3: Integrated software for modeling crystallization processes

journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 09:35 authored by Leonid Danyushevsky, Plechov, P
This paper introduces Petrolog3, software for modeling (1) fractional and equilibrium crystallization, (2) reverse fractional crystallization at variable pressure, melt oxidation state and melt H2O contents, and (3) postentrapment reequilibration of melt inclusions in olivine. Petrolog3 offers an algorithm that allows calculations with a potentially unlimited number of (1) mineral]melt equilibrium models for major and trace elements and (2) models describing melt physical parameters such as density and viscosity, melt oxidation state, and solubility of fluid components in silicate melts. The current version of the software incorporates 46 mineral]melt equilibrium models for 8 minerals; 3 models describing distribution of trace elements between minerals and melt; 4 models of melt oxidation state; 1 model for H2O solubility in silicate melts; and 4 models describing melt density and viscosity. The idea behind the program is to provide the community of igneous petrologists and geochemists with a user]friendly interface for using any combinations of available mineral]melt equilibrium models for computer simulation of the crystallization process.
