[petsc-users] convergence slow

Mon Apr 19 16:43:11 CDT 2021

Hello,
I want to solve PF solidification+Navier stokes using Finite different method. The Poisson equation is much more complicated that the one for just a fluid-flow problems (because it includes different terms order parameter terms).
The code converges but the convergence rate is very slow. I have tried different options. Following is the best options I found but the convergence is still very slow. I did not include the ksp_convergence data because it takes around 1000 liner solver steps for each snes step.
I look in literature, but I did not find any data on PF+navierstokes solutions using Petsc. Do you have any suggestions how should I improve the convergence?
Best,
Sepideh
