Hi Dave, My understanding is that stabilization by pressure weighted interpolation in FVM is in essence a fourth order pressure derivative with proper scaling. But in FVM it is usually implemented in defect correction form: only part of the stabilization is in the A11 block of the coupled matrix, the rest is in de rhs vector. This makes the coupled system diagonally dominant and solvable by AMG. Early work was done at Waterloo in the late eighties and early nineties, see http://dx.doi.org/10.2514/6.1996-297
