</div>Okay, you're using a staggered-grid finite difference discretization of<br>
variable-viscosity Stokes. This is a common problem and I recommend<br>
starting with PCFieldSplit with Schur complement reduction (make that<br>
work first, then switch to block preconditioner). </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ok, I made my 3D problem work with PCFieldSplit with Schur complement reduction using the options:<br>-pc_fieldsplit_type schur -pc_fieldsplit_detect_saddle_point -fieldsplit_1_ksp_constant_null_space<br>
</div><div> <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">You can use PCLSC or<br>
(probably better for you), assemble a preconditioning matrix containing<br>
the inverse viscosity in the pressure-pressure block. This diagonal<br>
matrix is a spectrally equivalent (or nearly so, depending on<br>
discretization) approximation of the Schur complement. The velocity<br>
block can be solved with algebraic multigrid. Read the PCFieldSplit<br>
docs (follow papers as appropriate) and let us know if you get stuck.<br>
</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Now, I got a little confused in how exactly to use command line options to use multigrid for the velocity bock and PCLS for the pressure block. After going through the manual I tried the following:<br>
</div></div></blockquote><div> </div></div><div>You want Algebraic Multigrid</div><div><br></div><div>-pc_type fieldsplit -pc_fieldsplit_detect_saddle_point</div><div>-pc_fieldsplit_type schur</div><div> -fieldsplit_0_pc_type gamg</div>

</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div>I tried the above set of options but the solution I get seem to be not correct. The velocity field I get are quite different than the one I got before without using gamg which were the expected one.<br>
Note: (Also, I had to add one extra option of -fieldsplit_1_ksp_gmres_restart 100 , because the fieldsplit_1_ksp residual norm did not converge within default 30 iterations before restarting).</div></div></div></div></blockquote>
<div><br></div></div></div><div>These are all iterative solvers. You have to make sure everything converges. </div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>When I set restart to 100, and do -ksp_monitor, it does converge (for the fieldsplit_1_ksp). Are you saying that in spite of having -ksp_converged_reason in the option and petsc completing the run with the message "Linear solve converged due to CONVERGED_RTOL .." not enough to make sure that everything is converging ? If that is the case what should I do for this particular problem ?<br>
</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If your outer iteration converges, and you do not like the solution, there are usually two possibilities:</div><div><br></div><div> 1) Your tolerance is too high, start with it cranked down all the way (1e-10) and slowly relax it</div>
