[petsc-users] CFD code with immersed boundary

[Arun Kamath]

My previous post gave a completely wrong meaning I guess, with a
missing punctuation.

Matt, you got it right. I wanted to know how do I deal with the ghost
cells arising from the physical domain, when I am using an
unstructured grid. Since DA works with structured grids only, as far
as I understood.

Thanks.


Are you saying that you have an unstructured grid with ghost cells, and you
would like PETSc to produce
a Vec of the correct size and Mat with the correct preallocation for that
grid and discretization, just as DA
does for structured grids?

  Thanks,

      Matt
