You should also try the SNESNGRES with your SNESSHELL as the SNESSetPC().

This converges in half the “iterations” as the original CFD solver, but each SNESNGMRES iteration requires two residual calls, so ends up converging in almost exactly the same amount of time as the CFD solver alone.

The CFD scheme is an explicit scheme that uses multigrid, Mach number preconditioning, and residual smoothing. Typically, I have to call MySolver on the order of 40 to 100 times to get acceptable convergence.

But I would like a version where I am using just MySolver, without any other operations applied to it. So I am trying to plug MySolver into the PETSc system to provide monitoring and other features, and for consistency and comparison to these other (more appropriate!) uses of PETSc.

I would like to use PETSc as a wrapper for this non-PETSc flow solver for compatibility, so I can use the tolerance monitoring, options, viewers, and for direct comparison to PETSc methods I am using.

There may be iteration inside the method, but that is handled inside the particular implementation. For example, both Newton's method and Nonlinear Conjugate Gradient iterate, but the iteration is internal to both, and they both call the monitor and convergence test at each internal iterate.
