Yes, the original operator definitely has a constant null space corresponding to the constant pressure mode. I am currently handling this by using the MatSetNullSpace function when the matrix is being created. Does this information get passed

am solving the Stokes equations on a MAC grid discretized by finite differences using a DMSTAG object. I have tested the solver quite extensively on manufactured problems and it seems to work well. As I am still just trying to get things working and not yet worried about speed I am using the following solver options:<span> </span><br></div><div>-pc_type fieldsplit</div><div>-pc_fieldsplit_detect_saddle_point</div><div>-fieldsplit_0_pc_type lu</div><div>-fieldsplit_1_ksp_rtol 1.e-8<br></div><div><br></div><div>However I am now using this solver as an inner step of a larger code and have run into issues. The code repeatedly solves the Stokes equations with varying right hand sides coming from changing problem geometry (the solver is a part of an overset grid scheme coupled to a level set method evolving in time). After a couple timesteps I observe the following output when running with -fieldsplit_1_ksp_converged_reason -fieldsplit_1_ksp_monitor_true_residual:<span>
