# What is DuMux? # What is DuMux?
[DuMu<sup>x</sup>][0] is a simulation toolbox mainly aimed at flow and transport [DuMu<sup>x</sup>][0] is a simulation framework with a focus on
processes in porous media. DuMu<sup>x</sup> is based on the [DUNE][1] finite volume discretization methods, model coupling for multi-physics applications,
framework and aims to provide a multitude of numerical models as well and flow and transport applications in porous media.
as flexible discretization methods for complex non-linear phenomena,
such as CO2 sequestration, soil remediation, drug delivery in cancer DuMu<sup>x</sup> is based on the [DUNE][1] framework from which it uses
therapy and more. Have a look at our publications the versatile grid interface, vector and matrix types, geometry and local basis functions, and linear solvers.
DuMu<sup>x</sup> then provides
* Finite volume discretizations (Tpfa, Mpfa, Staggered) and control-volume finite element discretization schemes
* A flexible system matrix assembler and approximation of the Jacobian matrix by numeric differentation
* A customizable Newton method implementation including line search and various stopping criteria
* Many preimplemented models (Darcy-scale porous media flow, Navier-Stokes, Geomechanics, Pore network models, Shallow water equations) and constitutive models
* A multi-domain framework for model coupling suited to couple subproblems with different discretizations/domains/physics/dimensions/... and create monolithic solvers
DuMu<sup>x</sup> has been applied to model complex and non-linear phenomena,
such as $\mathrm{CO}_2$ sequestration, soil remediation, reactive transport and precipitaion phenomena,
drug delivery in cancer therapy, flow in micro-fluidics, root-soil interaction,
flow in fractured porous media, atmosphere-soil flow interaction, evaporation and more.
