Hello Dumuxers,

I was wondering why the diffusive fluxes in Dumux are defined as 
D*rho*grad(mol-or-massfraction). Typically one would use D*grad(c) (e.g. Ficks 
law) where c=rho*mol-or-massfraction. Using the Dumux equation means that local 
differences in the density are neglected for diffusive fluxes. Is there any 
reason/justification for this? Or is my thinking just wrong?

Best regards

Georg Futter
