Chuks,<br>
<br>
1) Please run a successful case with -snes_view and send the output so we can see the exact solver options being used.<br>
<br>
2) Run a less successful case with -snes_monitor -ksp_monitor_true_residual -ksp_converged_reason -fieldsplit_ksp_monitor_true_residual -fieldsplit_ksp_converged reason so we can see how the linear solver (and the sub linear solves) are (not) converging.<br></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The first thing I would do is to put Krylov wrappers around the ILU on the subblocks.

> I am developing a fully implicit control volume finite element black oil reservoir simulator using petscdmplex and snes. So far, for 2 phase flow problems (3 by 3 block for pressure, saturation and bottomhole pressure), my simulator runs fine for small time step sizes in the order of less than 5 days. However, increasing the time step size, it doesn't converge with -3 (-5 sometimes) diverge reason. Considering that this is a fully implicit but nonlinear problem, I expect unconditional stability for reasonable time step sizes.<br>
