remove the code of the IMPET ("decoupled") models
there was no interest in using them and the maintainance burden grew pretty large as the Dumux and eWoms code-bases continued to diverge.

discretization in space and time and models that use a

semi-implicit space and an explicit time discretization.
|

|

The semi-implicit models work by first implicitly solving a mass
|
||||
balance equation for all conservation quaintites combined. This
|
||||
procedire yields a pressure field. Then, the conserved quantities are
|
||||
transported using an explicit post-processing procedure based on of
|
||||
the pressure field obtained in the implicit step. These models are
|
||||
usually refered to be based on the IMPES approach (\textbf{i}mplicit
|
||||
\textbf{p}ressure \textbf{e}xplicit \textbf{s}aturation) or, more
|
||||
generally, on the IMPET approach (\textbf{i}mplicit \textbf{p}ressure
|
||||
\textbf{e}xplicit \textbf{t}ransport).
|

|

In contrast, the fully-implicit models describe the conservation
|
||||
quantities of a flow system as a system of strongly coupled partial
|
||||
differential equations which is directly using a non-linear
|
||||
solver. Physically, these conservation quantities are mass, momentum
|
||||
and energy; Although the momentum is usually not explicitly conserved
|
||||
in the context of flow models for porous media.

Fully-implicit models as implemented by \eWoms describe the

In section \ref{box} a short introduction to the vertex centered
|
||||
finite volume scheme (VCFV or box method) used by \eWoms as the
|
||||
spatial discretization of the fully-implicit models is given. The
|
||||
decoupled models usually employ a cell-centered finite volume scheme
|
||||
which is quite similar to the VCFV discretization, except that this
|
||||
scheme does not require to construct a dual grid centered around the
|
||||
primary grid's vertices.
|

primary spatial discretization is given.

This chapter, first introduce how to solve flow problems using a

fully-implicit model (section \ref{tutorial-coupled}) and then how to

solve the same problem using a semi-implicit model (section

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce how flow problems can be
|

solved in \eWoms. Being a simple but representative case, an
|

isothermal two-phase problem (i.e. two fluid phases, one solid phase)
|

will be considered. The source code of these tutorials is shipped with

the \eWoms source package and can be found in the \texttt{tutorial}
