Numerous challenges in engineering exist and evolve, that include a continuous and discrete phase simultaneously, and therefore, cannot be solved accurately by continuous or discrete approaches, only. Therefore, XDEM provides a platform, that couples discrete and continuous phases for a large number of engineering applications.
Line 236 ⟶ 237:
The former concept requires a solver that includes a combination of all physical problems involved, and therefore, requires a large implementation effort. However, there exist scenarios for which it is difficult to arrange the coefficients of combined [[differential equations]] in one [[matrix]]. A partitioned concept as a coupling between a number of solvers representing individual domains of physics offers distinctive advantages over a monolithic concept.

It inherently encompasses a large degree of flexibility by coupling an almost arbitrary number of solvers.
