| Name of the Software | DuMux |
| Short Description | DuMux is short for "Dune for Multi-{Phase, Component, Scale, Physics, …} flow and transport in porous media". It is a free and open-source simulator that comes as a research code written in C++. It is based on Dune, the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment. Its main intention is to provide a sustainable and consistent framework for the implementation and application of porous media model concepts and constitutive relations. It has been successfully applied to gas (CO2, H2, CH4, …) storage scenarios, environmental remediation problems, transport of therapeutic agents through biological tissue, root-soil interaction, subsurface-atmosphere coupling (Navier Stokes / Darcy), pore-network modelling, flow and transport in fractured porous media, and more. |
