For instance, when I run a scenario in a fixed, non-adaptive grid with a DM of type 'P4est', I find that the well balanced nature is lost due to small perturbations all across the domain. However, this does not occur when I use a DM of type ‘plex’. Is there a radical change in the routines between the two DM’s?
