[petsc-users] Using DM for a refined level-set grid

[Åsmund Ervik]

I think there are options to velocity extrapolation that we can try before tackling load-balancing that. Level-set methods have so many different little tricks it's not even funny.

And it sounds like this part won't be load-balanced without significant
concessions and effort.
