......@@ -38,6 +38,14 @@ Differences Between DuMuX 2.12 and DuMuX 3.0
(e.g. `GridGeometry`) and the `Element` object (e.g. `ElementGeometry`) are mere accessor objects, or, data will be partly only cached locally.
The local caching uses less memory but might result in a more runtime, the grid caching is memory intensive
but can provide a significant run-time speedup. Choose whatever concept fits your available resources.
- __Multidomain:__ DuMux 3.0 introduces a new multidomain framework which does no longer depend on `dune-multidomain` and can be used for the coupling
of an arbitrary number of subdomains. The sub-domains can be regions in which a different set of equations are solved and/or which have different
dimensionalities. The implementation is such that any of the existing DuMux models can be used in the subdomains, while the data and functionality
required for the coupling of the sub-domains is implemented in a `CouplingManger` class. Three different coupling concepts are available, for which
there are a number of available `CouplingManager` class implementations:
- _Boundary:_ coupling across sub-domain boundaries
- _Embedded:_ Coupling between a bulk domain and an embedded lower-dimensional sub-domain which has an independent grid
- _Facet:_ Coupling betweeen a bulk domain and a codimension-one sub-domain, which is conforming with the element facets of the bulk domain
* __IMMEDIATE INTERFACE CHANGES not allowing/requiring a deprecation period:__
- The `GridCreator` has been replaced by the `GridManager`, which no longer uses a singleton for the grid object.
