Poromechanical Models Initialization

This section demonstrates the initialization of poromechanical models in GEOS: before the main simulation starts, an initialization task (e.g. SinglePhasePoromechanicsInitialization, see Tasks Manager) runs the coupled solver once to compute the stress field in equilibrium with the initial pressure and the gravity or user-defined stress gradients.
