ksp tutorial ex22

[Wee-Beng Tay]

Hi,

I'm also looking at the fortran version of ex22. I have some questions:

1. M,N,P are global dimension in each direction of the array. I'm abit
confused. Do you mean the no. of grid pts at the coarse level? Hence, if my
problem has 27x27 grid pts, do I use M=N=9 with 3 multigrid levels or M=N=3
with 9 lvls? What is the guideline in choosing the number of multigrid
levels?

2. What is stencil width (s)? Seems to be 1 in both ex22 and ex29.

3. What are arrays containing the number of nodes in each cell along the
x/y/z coordinates? Is it ok to just use the default PETSC_NULL_INTEGER?

4. There's a subroutine ComputeJacobian which computes the jacobian.
However, what is it actually calculating? Is it simply calculating the
coefficient arising from the discretization of the matrix?

5. My objective is to solve for the poisson equation arising from the Navier
Stokes equations. ie div grad P = F, which F can be calculated separately.
The boundary conditions are Neumann which is dp/dx, dp/dy=0. Is this a good
example to follow? Or is ex29 a better example, although I need time to
digest the C syntax.

thanks alot!
