/**
 * @brief Class for solution of fully coupled flow and mechanics using fixed-stress iterative splitting.
 * 
 * Flow and mechanics are solved separately and within each iteration the coupling terms are updated.
 * Here we use the fixed-stress splitting [see Mikelic&Wheeler, Comput. Geosci. 17(3), 2013] which uses
 * a tuning parameter "beta" to speed up the convergence.
 * 
 * TODO: The class is currently inherited from DarcyFlowInterface in order to provide MH_DofHandler for
 * transport processes. This should be changed as soon as we replace MH_DofHandler by fields for velocity
 * and pressure.
