[petsc-dev] PetscFV

[Adrian Croucher]

Further to this, I think I'm a bit confused about using PetscFV to set 
up the data layout (as seems to be done in the TS ex11 example), vs. 
doing it by creating a section using DMPlexCreateSection() and then 
DMSetSection().

If you do it using PetscFV, as in TS ex11, there seems to be no need to 
create a section explicitly.

If you do it using by creating a section, is there still any need to set 
up the PetscFV? I seem to recall trying taking the PetscFV stuff out of 
my code and finding that it didn't work properly without it. It seems 
PetscFV does some other things besides setting up a data layout, but if 
so I am unclear as to what they are.
