KSP/PC choice

[Tim Kröger]

Dear all,

the more KSP and PC methods are available, the more difficult it is to 
choose a suitable one.

I want to compute Navier-Stokes (using Finite Elements) for 
medium-sized Reynolds numbers (still laminar, though).  I am currently 
using

-ksp_type gmres
-ksp_gmres_restart 30
-pc_type bjacobi
-sub_pc_type asm
-sub_pc_asm_overlap 2
-sub_sub_pc_type ilu
-sub_sub_pc_factor_zeropivot 0
-sub_sub_pc_ilu_levels 1

but with a large number of CPUs (e.g. 20), no convergence is achieved. 
Does anyone have some suggestions for a better setting?

I am using petsc-2.3.0.

Best Regards,

Tim
