Dear DuMux developer,

Looking at the fluidmatrixinteractionlaws, I do find the implementation of 
several partial derivatives.
For example, in case of the BrooksCorey model:

*            The derivative of the relative permeability for the non-wetting 
phase in regard to the wetting saturation  dkrn_dswe()
*            The derivative of the relative permeability for the wetting phase 
with regard to the wetting saturation  dkrw_dswe()
*            The partial derivative of the capillary pressure w.r.t. the 
effective saturation   dpc_dswe()
*            The partial derivative of the effective saturation w.r.t. the 
capillary pressure  dswe_dpc()

I don't really understand the purpose of the derivatives. In case I remove 
them, my code is still running fine and is given me the identical result. 
However, since I am currently implementing a modified 
fluidmatrixinteractionlaw, I would like to understand the purpose of the 
derivatives. Unfortunately, in this case, the DuMux Handbook as well as the 
online documentation provides quite limited information.

Best regards,
Felix
