Following a suggestion from Matthew Knepley I’ve been trying to apply fieldsplit/gamg for my set of PDEs but I’m still encountering issues despite various tests. pc_gamg simply won’t start.<br>
Note that direct solvers always yield the correct, physical result.<br>
Removing the fieldsplit to focus on the gamg bit and trying to solve the linear system on a modest size problem still gives, with<br>

It seems that I have indeed eigenvalues of rather high magnitude in the spectrum of my operator without being able to determine the reason.<br>
The eigenvectors look like small artifacts at the wall-inflow or wall-outflow corners with zero anywhere else but I do not know how to interpret this.<br>
Equations are time-harmonic linearized Navier-Stokes to which a forcing is applied, there’s no time-marching.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You mean you are in frequency domain?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

The Fortran application code is memory-leak free and has undergone a strict verification/validation procedure for different variations of the PDEs.<br>
<br>
If there’s any problem with the matrix what could help for the diagnostic? At this point I’m running out of ideas so I would really appreciate additional suggestions and discussions.<br>

Thanks for your continued support,<br>
