 To get started with DuMu<sup>x</sup>, we recommend the following documented examples. Each example folder contains a ready-to-use DuMu<sup>x</sup> simulation example.
 The description in each folder (best viewed online by following the link) explains each line of the code example.

 In this example, we simulate tracer transport through a confined aquifer with a randomly distributed permeability field.
 We first solve the pressure field, compute the steady state flow field, and then solve the tracer transport equation.

 In this example we model a soil contamination problem where DNAPL infiltrates a water-saturated porous medium (two-phase flow).
 The initial distribution of DNAPL is read in from a txt-file.
