\subsection{Available Models}
\todo{modelliste einfügen, auf doxygen verweisen, Text überarbeiten (Christoph)}
The following description of the available models is automatically extracted
from the Doxygen documentation.
\subsection{Implicit and Decoupled Models}
We distinguish fully-implicit and decoupled models. A list of all available models can be found
in the Doxygen documentation at
\url{http://www.dumux.org/doxygen-stable/html-2.8/modules.php}.
The documentation includes a detailed description for every model.
\subsubsection{Fully-Implicit Models}

The basic idea the so-called decoupled models have in common is to reformulate the
The basic idea of the decoupled models is to reformulate the
equations of multi-phase flow into one equation for
pressure and equations for phase-/component-/etc. transport. The pressure equation
pressure and equations for phase/component/... transport. The pressure equation
is the sum of the mass balance equations and thus considers the total flow of the
fluid system. The new set of equations is considered as decoupled (or weakly coupled)
and can thus be solved sequentially. The most popular decoupled model is the so-called
and can thus be solved sequentially. The most popular decoupled model is the
fractional flow formulation for two-phase flow which is usually implemented applying
an IMplicit Pressure Explicit Saturation algorithm (IMPES).
In comparison to a fully implicit model, the decoupled structure allows the use of
different discretization methods for the different equations. The standard method
used in the decoupled models is a cell centered finite volume method. Further schemes,
so far only available for the two-phase pressure equation, are cell centered finite
used in the decoupled models is a cell-centered finite volume method. Further schemes,
so far only available for the two-phase pressure equation, are cell-centered finite
volumes with multi-point flux approximation (MPFA O-method) and mimetic finite differences.
An $h$-adaptive implementation of both decoupled models is provided for two dimensions.
