Geodyanmics couplingGibbs energy minimizerPhysics::GeophysicsIgneous stable phase predictiondescription
MAGEMin is a Gibbs energy minimization solver package, which computes the thermodynamically most stable assemblage for a given bulk rock composition and pressure/temperature condition. It also returns parameters such as melt fraction or density, which can be combined with geodynamic/petrological tools to simulate, for example, the evolving chemistry of a crystallising melt. MAGEMin is written as a parallel C library and uses a combination of linear programming, extended Partitioning Gibbs free Energy and gradient-based local minimization to compute the most stable mineral assemblage. In this, it differs from exisisting approaches which makes it particularly suitable to utilize modern multicore processors. We also provide a MATLAB-based graphical user interface to help computing pseudosections for given bulk rock composition.
