Andreas Lauser 7deaf50402 box model descriptions: syncronize them with the doxygen versions
the descriptions of the semi-implicit models are imported from dumux
because I suppose that these have been modified manually and the
differences should be negligible anyway...

This model implements a $M$-\/phase flow of a fluid mixture composed of $N$ chemical species. The phases are denoted by lower index $\alpha \in \{ 1, \dots, M \}$. All fluid phases are mixtures of $N \geq M - 1$ chemical species which are denoted by the upper index $\kappa \in \{ 1, \dots, N \} $.
By default, the standard multi-\/phase Darcy approach is used to determine the velocity, i.\-e. \[ \mathbf{v}_\alpha = - \frac{k_{r\alpha}}{\mu_\alpha} \mathbf{K} \left(\text{grad}\, p_\alpha - \varrho_{\alpha} \mathbf{g} \right) \;, \] although the actual approach which is used can be specified via the {\ttfamily Velocity\-Module} property. For example, the velocity model can by changed to the Forchheimer approach by
\begin{lstlisting}[style=eWomsCode]
SET_TYPE_PROP(MyProblemTypeTag, VelocityModule,
Dumux::BoxForchheimerVelocityModule<TypeTag>);
\end{lstlisting}
The core of the model is the conservation mass of each component by means of the equation \[ \sum_\alpha \frac{\partial\;\phi c_\alpha^\kappa S_\alpha }{\partial t} - \sum_\alpha \text{div} \left\{ c_\alpha^\kappa \mathbf{v}_\alpha \right\} - q^\kappa = 0 \;. \]
For the missing $M$ model assumptions, the model uses non-\/linear complementarity functions. These are based on the observation that if a fluid phase is not present, the sum of the mole fractions of this fluid phase is smaller than $1$, i.\-e. \[ \forall \alpha: S_\alpha = 0 \implies \sum_\kappa x_\alpha^\kappa \leq 1 \]
Also, if a fluid phase may be present at a given spatial location its saturation must be non-\/negative\-: \[ \forall \alpha: \sum_\kappa x_\alpha^\kappa = 1 \implies S_\alpha \geq 0 \]
Since at any given spatial location, a phase is always either present or not present, one of the strict equalities on the right hand side is always true, i.\-e. \[ \forall \alpha: S_\alpha \left( \sum_\kappa x_\alpha^\kappa - 1 \right) = 0 \] always holds.
These three equations constitute a non-\/linear complementarity problem, which can be solved using so-\/called non-\/linear complementarity functions $\Phi(a, b)$. Such functions have the property \[\Phi(a,b) = 0 \iff a \geq0 \land b \geq0 \land a \cdot b = 0 \]
Several non-\/linear complementarity functions have been suggested, e.\-g. the Fischer-\/\-Burmeister function \[ \Phi(a,b) = a + b - \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \;. \] This model uses \[ \Phi(a,b) = \min \{a, b \}\;, \] because of its piecewise linearity.
These equations are then discretized using a fully-\/implicit vertex centered finite volume scheme (often known as 'box'-\/scheme) for spatial discretization and the implicit Euler method as temporal discretization.
The model assumes local thermodynamic equilibrium and uses the following primary variables\-:
\begin{itemize}
\item The pressure of the first phase $p_1$
\item The component fugacities $f^1, \dots, f^{N}$
\item The saturations of the first $M-1$ phases $S_1, \dots, S_{M-1}$
\item Temperature $T$ if the energy equation is enabled
\end{itemize}
