Hi Bernd,
 
Thanks a lot for your quick attention. However, with your input file, and grid 
resolution 100x100, I got the same exceptions. I also tried to increase 
ResidualReduction parameter even further without any luck.
 
It puzzles me that the code runs at lower resolution but not at higher...

Hey Shawn,

thank you for reporting this. It helps to relax the threshold for the reduction 
of the residual that the linear solver is required to achieve. I attach a 
corresponding input file, where the parameter is adjusted in line 31.

To me, the default threshold of 1e-12 seems to be very small. We will discuss 
whether the default value should be adjusted.

Kind regards
Bernd
