Regarding the natural numbering vs parallel numbering: I haven't figured out what is wrong here. I stepped through in parallel and it looks like each processor is setting up the matrix and calling MatSetValue similar to what is shown in
<a href="https://petsc.org/release/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex2.c.html" id="LPlnk784808">
https://petsc.org/release/src/ksp/ksp/tutorials/ex2.c.html</a>. I see that PETSc is recognizing my simple two-processor test from the output ("PetscInitialize_Common(): PETSc successfully started: number of processors = 2"). I'll keep poking at this, however
I'm very new to PETSc. When I print the matrix to ASCII using PETSC_VIEWER_DEFAULT, I'm guessing I see one row per line, and the tuples consists of the column number and value?<br>

On the FieldSplit preconditioner, is my understanding here correct:<br>
<br>
To use FieldSplit, I must have a DM. Since I have an unstructured mesh, I must use DMPlex and set up the chart and covering relations specific to my mesh following here:
<a href="https://petsc.org/release/docs/manual/dmplex/" id="LPlnk603044">https://petsc.org/release/docs/manual/dmplex/</a>. I think this may be very time-consuming for me to set up.

Currently, I already have a matrix stored in a parallel sparse L-D-U format. I am converting into PETSc's sparse parallel AIJ matrix (traversing my matrix and using MatSetValues). The weights for my discretization scheme are already accounted for in the coefficients
of my L-D-U matrix. I do have the submatrices in L-D-U format for each of my two equations' coupling with each other. That is, the equivalent of lines 242,251-252,254 of example 28

https://petsc.org/release/src/snes/tutorials/ex28.c.html</a>. Could I directly convert my submatrices into PETSc's sub-matrix here, then assemble things together so that the field split preconditioners will work?<br>
<br>
Alternatively, since my L-D-U matrices already account for the discretization scheme, can I use a simple structured grid DM?</div>

I am solving these equations in the context of electrically-driven fluid flows as that first paper describes. I am using a PIMPLE scheme to advance the fluid equations in time, and my goal is to do a coupled solve of the electric equations similar to what is

using the SIMPLE scheme in this paper. My fluid flow should eventually reach steady behavior, and likewise the time derivative in the charge density should trend towards zero. They preferred using BiCGStab with a direct LU preconditioner for solving their
electric equations. I tried to test that combination, but my case is halting for unknown reasons in the middle of the PETSc solve. I'll try with more nodes and see if I am running out of memory, but the computer is a little overloaded at the moment so it may

I sent Pierre Jolivet my matrix and RHS, and they said the matrix does not appear to be following a parallel numbering, and instead looks like the matrix has natural numbering. When they renumbered the system with ParMETIS they got really fast convergence.

I just used MUMPS and SuperLU_DIST on my full-size problem (with 3,000,000 unknowns). To clarify, I did a direct solve with -ksp_type preonly. They take a very long time, about 30 minutes for MUMPS and 18 minutes for SuperLU_DIST, see attached output. For reference,
the same matrix took 658 iterations of BoomerAMG and about 20 seconds of walltime. Maybe I am already getting a great deal with BoomerAMG!<br>

Have you tried MUMPS (or SuperLU_DIST) on the full-size problem with the 5,000,000 unknowns? It is at the high end of problem sizes you can do with direct solvers but is worth comparing with BoomerAMG. You likely want to use more nodes and fewer cores per
node with MUMPs to be able to access more memory. If you are needing to solve multiple right hand sides but with the same matrix the factors will be reused resulting in the second and later solves being much faster.

<div> I agree with Mark, with iterative solvers you are likely to end up with PCFIELDSPLIT.</div>

I am trying to solve the leaky-dielectric model equations with PETSc using a second-order discretization scheme (with limiting to first order as needed) using the finite volume method. The leaky dielectric model is a coupled system of two equations, consisting
of a Poisson equation and a convection-diffusion equation. I have tested on small problems with simple geometry (~1000 DoFs) using:<br>

worse convergence. My production problem has ~3 million DoFs, more complex geometry, and is solved on ~100 cores across two nodes. The boundary conditions change a little because of the geometry, but are of the same classifications (e.g. only Dirichlet and
Neumann). On the production case, I am needing 600-4000 iterations to converge. I've attached the output from the first solve that took 658 iterations to converge, using the following output options:<br>

My matrix is non-symmetric, the condition number can be around 10e6, and the eigenvalues reported by PETSc have been real and positive (using -ksp_view_eigenvalues).<span class="x_x_x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>

I have tried using other preconditions (superlu, mumps, gamg, mg) but hypre+boomeramg has performed the best so far. The literature seems to indicate that AMG is the best approach for solving these equations in a coupled fashion.</div>
