[petsc-users] Convergence problem in solving a symmetric positive definite matrix in a CFD code

Hello,

I am using Petsc to solve the linear equation in a CFD code. The matrix is symmetric positive definite.

Please find my input and output below. 

1. When I used KSPCR solver, ||r(i)||/||b|| is inf. What is the reason? Does it mean ||b|| is zero? When I used the KSPLGMRES solver, it seems ||r(i)||/||b|| is OK. However, it seems the calculated results are not right. 

2. I am not sure if I set the solver and matrix properly. Did I miss something? 

Thank you.
