Hi Justin, No, it's unsteady Stokes which is a different PDE. cheers --cjc On 22 August 2016 at 04:20, Justin Chang <jychang48@gmail.com> wrote:

Colin,

So I didn't read the paper and therefore don't know exactly what you're trying to implement, but the PETSc folks have some examples on how to precondition the Stokes equation using command-line options starting around slide 129:

Perhaps one of their examples closely resembles what you're looking for?

Dear all, I'd very much like to try the preconditioner in Mardal, Kent-Andre, and Ragnar Winther. "Uniform preconditioners for the time dependent Stokes problem." *Numerische Mathematik* 98.2 (2004): 305-327.

This is an additive preconditioner that involves summing the result of two different preconditioning systems. What is the best path to trying this right now? Is it the new matrix-free stuff?
