DuMu^x is

short for Dune for Multi-{Phase, Component, Scale, Physics, …} flow and transport in porous media
a free and open-source simulator for flow and transport processes in porous media
a research code written in C++
based on Dune (Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment)
a Dune user module in the Dune 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…

The development of DuMu^x started in January 2007 at the University of Stuttgart in the Department of Hydromechanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems. The main DuMu^x repository is currently hosted via GitLab at the IWS, University of Stuttgart.

DuMu^x is associated partner of the OPM (Open Porous Media) initiative.

The development of DuMu^x has been and is often directly or indirectly supported financially through research projects. In particular, we want to acknowledge the following institutions for supporting projects involving DuMu^x :

dumux-course

A module containing tutorials for beginners, documented examples, task descriptions and solutions. Can be used without prior knowledge of DuMu^x . The module also contains the slides from the last DuMu^x course event. The source code is up-to-date with the latest DuMu^x release. The module can be found here.

dumux-lecture

All example applications used in the Master’s-level lectures offered by the Department of Hydromechanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems at the University of Stuttgart. Each application is contained in its own folder with detailed explanations in the description subfolder. This subfolder also contains LaTeX source files that can be used for generating a PDF. Visit dumux-lecture for more information.

dumux-pub

Archives of published research results achieved with the help of DuMu^x . Each archive consist of a DUNE module that allows to replicate the results of a corresponding publication (journal articles, PhD, Master’s, and Bachelor’s theses). Each module contains an installation instruction and a list of dependencies with the relevant versions. All modules are hosted here.
