Jie,

It turns out the SparseILU needs to be tuned very carefully. I set the AdditioalData to (0.03, 0) the solver now works fine. Although it is still slower than UMFPACK. Maybe using just the right parameters in AdditionalData can further improve it. I observed similar thing in step-57 too. Using ILU + GMRES for A inverse won't even converge in reasonable time with default AdditionalData. Playing with the AdditionalData helps... In a word, SparseILU seems to be sensitive to the AdditionalData and how to choose the right parameter is unclear.

Yes, that's what I meant to say in my last email: the ILU is quite sensitive to choosing parameters.

Do you have a set of parameters that works significantly better than what we currently use in step-57? Would you like to propose we make changes to step-57 in this direction?


Wolfgang, would you like me to contribute this code to the code gallery? Is there anything in this code that I should polish?

You mean your time-dependent N-S solver? Yes, we would absolutely love to have it as part of the code gallery! If you contribute it as a pull request as explained on the website, we can take a look and see what should/needs to be polished, though we're typically quite relaxed about code gallery programs!

Best
 Wolfgang
