I'm sorry for dropping the mailing list in previous mail. I went over the code and made sure I didn't set the maximum number or final time to zero for TS. And I found a very similar example in petsc/src/ts/tutorials/ex8.c. I made the following changes: 1. TSSetMaxStepRejections<https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TSSetMaxStepRejections.html#TSSetMaxStepRejections>(ts,10); -> TSSetMaxStepRejections<https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TSSetMaxStepRejections.html#TSSetMaxStepRejections>(ts,0); 2. TSSetMaxSNESFailures<https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TSSetMaxSNESFailures.html#TSSetMaxSNESFailures>(ts,-1); -> TSSetMaxSNESFailures<https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TSSetMaxSNESFailures.html#TSSetMaxSNESFailures>(ts,0); Now it is clear why your code terminates early. TSSetMaxStepRejections<https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TSSetMaxStepRejections.html#TSSetMaxStepRejections> (-td_max_reject) specifies the maximum number of failed time steps that TS adapter allows. TSSetMaxSNESFailures<https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TSSetMaxSNESFailures.html#TSSetMaxSNESFailures> (-ts_max_snes_failures) specifies the maximum number of failed nonlinear solves that TS adapter allows. The TS adapter can reject a time step and restart it with a decreased step size if the error criterion is not met. Diverged nonlinear solve is one of the reasons that cause a time step rejected. To avoid termination caused by these constraints, you can use -ts_max_snes_failures -1 -ts_max_reject -1 to set both of them unlimited. When the nonlinear solve diverges (e.g. the number of SNES iterations reaches the limit set by -snes_max_it), TS adapter will decrease the step size by a factor (can be changed with -ts_adapt_scale_solve_failed) and repeat the time step. Sometimes you may end up with excessively small steps if the repeated nonlinear solves keep struggling. In that case, I would turn off the adapter with -ts_adapt_type none and stick with the fixed time stepping or control the step size myself. Hong (Mr.) These changes adjust the Rejections and SNESFailures to the default state.

Note that the program did not reach the set termination time (-ts_max_time 15). This indicates that the command -ts_error_if_step_fails 0, while avoiding program errors, ends TS solving after a failed SNES and does not proceed to the next step. And I'd like to continue the next step with the result after a failed SNES time step (although this result is not converged). In addition, I would like to ask the function of these two functions: TSSetMaxStepRejections<https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TSSetMaxStepRejections.html#TSSetMaxStepRejections> and TSSetMaxSNESFailures<https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-current/docs/manualpages/TS/TSSetMaxSNESFailures.html#TSSetMaxSNESFailures>(). I looked it up in manualpages/singleindex.html, but there were very few explanations, and I still didn't quite understand the meaning of Rejection and SNES Failures variables. Thank you very much for your reply and I hope you can help me to answer these questions. Thanks, Yingjie Zhang, Hong <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 于2020年4月30日周四 下午1:22写道： Please do not drop the mailing list when replying. It looks like the max steps or the final time has been set to zero for TS. You might want to check your code to see if the TS settings are correct or if they are overwritten in some callback functions by mistake.
