You can run in the debugger with -ksp_error_if_not_converged or -fp_trap to see when the Nan first appears. If the problem does not appear on one rank or you need to use mpiexec to start the program you can use the option -start_in_debugger to have the program started up in the debugger https://petsc.org/main/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscAttachDebugger.html <https://petsc.org/main/docs/manualpages/Sys/PetscAttachDebugger.html> > > Also, we have an example of low Mach flow in TS ex76. > > Thanks, > > Matt > > and it converges when ksp_pc_type is "left": > > Residual norms for stokes_ solve. > 0 KSP preconditioned resid norm 8.829128536017e+04 true resid norm > -nan ||r(i)||/||b|| -nan > 1 KSP preconditioned resid norm 1.219313641627e+00 true resid norm > -nan ||r(i)||/||b|| -nan > 2 KSP preconditioned resid norm 8.547033285706e-12 true resid norm > -nan ||r(i)||/||b|| -nan > Linear stokes_ solve converged due to CONVERGED_RTOL iterations 2 > > I am curious to know why this is happening.
