The trouble is that the constraints can get "eliminated" only when they become active. </blockquote></div><br></div><div>That's not what I meant. I meant to transform the algebraic system so that those extra variables were eliminated. The point is that we tend to put a lot of effort into designing effective preconditioners for a standard formulation (e.g. conservative variables), and that is partly lost of we have this other system in which the evaluations of constitutive relations are added explicitly.</div>
</blockquote></div>I guess I'm missing something: why would you add pressure to the set of conservative variables? It's redundant, as it can be obtained at any time via the equation of state. The only reason to add it is to impose a bound constraint on it and use it to monitor for departures from the feasible set. If you want to eliminate it, you are better off not adding it in the first place, it seems to me.<div>
