Hi everyone

I'm playing around with step-57. A 3D grid which is globally refined for 4 
times has 4096 cells and 112724 dofs. Solving such a case is unbearably 
slow on my computer. I suspect it is due to the direct solver 
for SparseDirectUMFPACK solver for A_inverse in the 
BlockSchurPreconditioner. So I am trying to replace it with another solver. *My 
question is which solver and preconditioner should be used for the 
unsymmetric A (actually A tilde) when it becomes large?*

I attempted to use FGMRES solver without preconditioner to replace Line 269 
as following:

SolverControl solver_control (stokes_matrix.block(0,0).m(), 
1e-6*utmp.l2_norm(), true);
SolverFGMRES<Vector<double> > gmres(solver_control);
gmres.solve(stokes_matrix.block(0,0), dst.block(0), utmp, 
PreconditionIdentity());

But it couldn't converge even in 2D. I also tried SolverBicgstab without 
preconditioning, it did converge but no improvement compared to direct 
solver was observed in the cases that I ran.

Thank you
Jie
