Motivation
"Parameterisation and varying parameters" was a top-tier request at the 2025 geoscience
workshop (Discussion #30081, 👍 6): "Easy calibration... Perhaps using adjoints or PEST?" and
"Monte-Carlo our parameters".
The Optimization and Stochastic Tools modules already provide the machinery, but it is not demonstrated for PorousFlow. Should do this
Design
Add some examples under modules/combined/examples/ (the porous_flow app links neither
Optimization nor Stochastic Tools).
Impact
Demonstrate capability with examples that users can follow and build upon
