DuMu^x course exercises

The DuMu^x course comprises the following exercises. Each exercise folder contains a detailed description of the tasks (best viewed online by following the links) and the source files to work on.

Basics

Based on a scenario where gas is injected into an aquifer, you learn how to

• compile and run an executable,
• see the difference of an immiscible two-phase model compared to a two-phase two-component model,
• set up a new executable,
• set up a non-isothermal test problem based on the isothermal test problem,
• set boundary conditions.
