Guide to the Stokes Equations using Finite Elements in PETSc
============================================================

This guide accompanies `SNES Example 62 <../../../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c.html>`__.

The Stokes equations for a fluid, a steady-state form of the Navier-Stokes equations, start with the balance of momentum, just as in elastostatics,

.. math::

    \nabla \cdot \sigma + f = 0,

where :math:`\sigma` is the stress tensor and :math:`f` is the body force, combined with the conservation of mass

.. math::

    \nabla \cdot (\rho u) = 0,

where :math:`\rho` is the density and :math:`u` is the fluid velocity. If we assume that the density is constant, making the fluid incompressible, and that the rheology is Newtonian, meaning that the viscous stress is linearly proportional to the local strain rate, then we have

.. math::

    \begin{aligned}
      \nabla \cdot \mu \left( \nabla u + \nabla u^T \right) - \nabla p + f &= 0 \\
      \nabla \cdot u &= 0
    \end{aligned}

where :math:`p` is the pressure, :math:`\mu` is the dynamic shear viscosity, with units :math:`N\cdot s/m^2` or :math:`Pa\cdot s`. If we divide by the constant density, we would have the kinematic viscosity :math:`\nu` and a force per unit mass. The second equation demands that the velocity field be divergence-free, indicating that the flow is incompressible. The pressure in this case can be thought of as the Lagrange multiplier enforcing the incompressibility constraint. In the compressible case, we would need an equation of state to relate the pressure to the density, and perhaps temperature.

We will discretize our Stokes equations with finite elements, so the first step is to write a variational weak form of the equations. We choose to use a Ritz-Galerkin setup, so let our velocity :math:`u \in V` and pressure :math:`p \in Q`, so that

.. math::

    \begin{aligned}
      \left< \nabla v, \mu \left( \nabla u + \nabla u^T \right) \right> + \left< v, \frac{\partial\sigma}{\partial n} \right>_\Gamma - \left< \nabla\cdot v, p \right> - \left< v, f \right> &= 0 & \text{for all} \ v \in V\\
      \left< q, -\nabla \cdot u \right> &= 0 & \text{for all} \ q \in Q
    \end{aligned}

where integration by parts has added a boundary integral over the normal derivative of the stress (traction), and natural boundary conditions correspond to stress-free boundaries. We have multiplied the continuity equation by minus one in order to preserve symmetry.

Equation Definition
-------------------

The test functions :math:`v, q` and their derivatives are determined by the discretization, whereas the form of the integrand is determined by the physics. Given a quadrature rule to evaluate the form integral, we would only need the evaluation of the physics integrand at the quadrature points, given the values of the fields and their derivatives. The entire scheme is detailed in :cite:`KnepleyBrownRuppSmith13`. The kernels paired with test functions we will call :math:`f_0` and those paired with gradients of test functions will be called :math:`f_1`.

For example, the kernel for the continuity equation, paired with the pressure test function, is called ``f0_p`` and can be seen here

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static void f0_p(
   :end-at: }

We use the components of the Jacobian of :math:`u` to build up its divergence. For the balance of momentum excluding body force, we test against the gradient of the test function, as seen in ``f1_u``,

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static void f1_u(
   :end-at: }

Notice how the pressure :math:`p` is referred to using ``u[uOff[1]]`` so that we can have many fields with different numbers of components. ``DMPlex`` uses these point functions to construct the residual. A similar set of point functions is also used to build the Jacobian. The last piece of our physics specification is the construction of exact solutions using the Method of Manufactured Solutions (MMS).

MMS Solutions
-------------

An MMS solution is chosen to elucidate some property of the problem, and to check that it is being solved accurately, since the error can be calculated explicitly. For our Stokes problem, we first choose a solution with quadratic velocity and linear pressure,

.. math::

   u = \begin{pmatrix} x^2 + y^2 \\ 2 x^2 - 2 x y \end{pmatrix} \quad \mathrm{or} \quad \begin{pmatrix} 2 x^2 + y^2 + z^2 \\ 2 x^2 - 2xy \\ 2 x^2 - 2xz \end{pmatrix}

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static PetscErrorCode quadratic_u
   :end-at: return 0;
   :append: }

.. math::

   p = x + y - 1 \quad \mathrm{or} \quad x + y + z - \frac{3}{2}

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static PetscErrorCode quadratic_p
   :end-at: return 0;
   :append: }

By plugging these solutions into our equations, assuming that the velocity we choose is divergence-free, we can determine the body force necessary to make them satisfy the Stokes equations. For the quadratic solution above, we find

.. math::

  f = \begin{pmatrix} 1 - 4\mu \\ 1 - 4\mu \end{pmatrix} \quad \mathrm{or} \quad \begin{pmatrix} 1 - 8\mu \\ 1 - 4\mu \\ 1 - 4\mu \end{pmatrix}

which is implemented in our ``f0_quadratic_u`` pointwise function

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static void f0_quadratic_u
   :end-at: }

We let PETSc know about these solutions

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: ierr = PetscDSSetExactSolution(ds, 0
   :end-at: ierr = PetscDSSetExactSolution(ds, 1

These solutions will be captured exactly by the :math:`P_2-P_1` finite element space. We can use the ``-dmsnes_check`` option to activate function space checks. It gives the :math:`L_2` error, or *discretization* error, of the exact solution, the residual computed using the interpolation of the exact solution into our finite element space, and uses a Taylor test to check that our Jacobian matches the residual. It should converge at order 2, or be exact in the case of linear equations like Stokes. Our :math:`P_2-P_1` runs in the PETSc test section at the bottom of the source file

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: suffix: 2d_p2_p1_check
   :lines: 1-3

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: suffix: 3d_p2_p1_check
   :lines: 1-3

verify these claims, as we can see from the output files

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/output/ex62_2d_p2_p1_check.out
  :language: none

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/output/ex62_3d_p2_p1_check.out
  :language: none

We can carry out the same tests for the :math:`Q_2-Q_1` element,

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: suffix: 2d_q2_q1_check
   :lines: 1-2

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: suffix: 3d_q2_q1_check
   :lines: 1-2

The quadratic solution, however, cannot tell us whether our discretization is attaining the correct order of convergence, especially for higher order elements. Thus, we will define another solution based on trigonometric functions.

.. math::

  u = \begin{pmatrix} \sin(\pi x) + \sin(\pi y) \\ -\pi \cos(\pi x) y \end{pmatrix} \quad \mathrm{or} \quad
      \begin{pmatrix} 2 \sin(\pi x) + \sin(\pi y) + \sin(\pi z) \\ -\pi \cos(\pi x) y \\ -\pi \cos(\pi x) z \end{pmatrix}

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static PetscErrorCode trig_u
   :end-at: return 0;
   :append: }

.. math::

  p = \sin(2 \pi x) + \sin(2 \pi y) \quad \mathrm{or} \quad \sin(2 \pi x) + \sin(2 \pi y) + \sin(2 \pi z)

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static PetscErrorCode trig_p
   :end-at: return 0;
   :append: }

.. math::

  f = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \pi \cos(2 \pi x) + \mu \pi^2 \sin(\pi x) + \mu \pi^2 \sin(\pi y) \\ 2 \pi \cos(2 \pi y) - \mu \pi^3 \cos(\pi x) y \end{pmatrix} \quad \mathrm{or} \quad
  \begin{pmatrix} 2 \pi \cos(2 \pi x) + 2\mu \pi^2 \sin(\pi x) + \mu \pi^2 \sin(\pi y) + \mu \pi^2 \sin(\pi z) \\ 2 \pi \cos(2 \pi y) - \mu \pi^3 cos(\pi x) y \\ 2 \pi \cos(2 \pi z) - \mu \pi^3 \cos(\pi x) z \end{pmatrix}

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static void f0_quadratic_u
   :end-at: }
   :append: }

We can now use ``-snes_convergence_estimate`` to determine the convergence exponent for the discretization. This options solves the problem on a series of refined meshes, calculates the error on each mesh, and determines the slope on a logarithmic scale. For example, we do this in two dimensions, refining our mesh twice using ``-convest_num_refine 2`` in the following test.

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: suffix: 2d_p2_p1_conv
   :end-before: test:

However, the test needs an accurate linear solver. Sparse LU factorizations do not, in general, do full pivoting. Thus we must deal with the zero pressure block explicitly. We use the ``PCFIELDSPLIT`` preconditioner and the full Schur complement factorization, but we still need a preconditioner for the Schur complement :math:`B^T A^{-1} B`. We can have PETSc construct that matrix automatically, but the cost rises steeply as the problem size increases. Instead, we use the fact that the Schur complement is spectrally equivalent to the pressure mass matrix :math:`M_p`. We can make a preconditioning matrix, which has the diagonal blocks we will use to build the preconditioners, letting PETSc know that we get the off-diagonal blocks from the original system with ``-pc_fieldsplit_off_diag_use_amat`` and to build the Schur complement from the original matrix using ``-pc_use_amat``,

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: ierr = PetscDSSetJacobianPreconditioner(ds, 0
   :end-at: ierr = PetscDSSetJacobianPreconditioner(ds, 1

Putting this all together, and using exact solvers on the subblocks, we have

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: suffix: 2d_p2_p1_conv
   :end-before: test:

and we see it converges, however it is superconverging in the pressure,

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/output/ex62_2d_p2_p1_conv.out

If we refine the mesh using ``-dm_refine 3``, the convergence rates become ``[3.0, 2.1]``.

Dealing with Parameters
-----------------------

Like most physical problems, the Stokes problem has a parameter, the dynamic shear viscosity, which determines what solution regime we are in. To handle these parameters in PETSc, we first define a C struct to hold them,

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: typedef struct {
   :end-at: } Parameter;

and then add a ``PetscBag`` object to our application context. We then setup the parameter object,

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-at: static PetscErrorCode SetupParameters
   :end-at: PetscFunctionReturn(0);
   :append: }

which will allow us to set the value from the command line using ``-mu``. The ``PetscBag`` can also be persisted to disk with ``PetscBagLoad/View()``. We can make these values available as constant to our pointwise functions through the ``PetscDS`` object.

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex62.c
   :start-after: /* Make constant values
   :end-at: }

Investigating convergence
-------------------------

In order to look at the convergence of some harder problems, we will examine ``SNES ex69``. This example provides an exact solution to the variable viscosity Stokes equation. The sharp viscosity variation will allow us to investigate convergence of the solver and discretization. Briefly, a sharp viscosity variation is created across the unit square, imposed on a background pressure with given fundamental frequency. For example, we can create examples with period one half and viscosity :math:`e^{2 B x}` (solKx)

  >>> make -f ./gmakefile test globsearch="snes_tutorials-ex69_p2p1" EXTRA_OPTIONS="-dm_refine 5 -dm_view hdf5:$PETSC_DIR/sol.h5 -snes_view_solution hdf5:$PETSC_DIR/sol.h5::append -exact_vec_view hdf5:$PETSC_DIR/sol.h5::append -m 2 -n 2 -B 1"
  >>> make -f ./gmakefile test globsearch="snes_tutorials-ex69_p2p1" EXTRA_OPTIONS="-dm_refine 5 -dm_view hdf5:$PETSC_DIR/sol.h5 -snes_view_solution hdf5:$PETSC_DIR/sol.h5::append -exact_vec_view hdf5:$PETSC_DIR/sol.h5::append -m 2 -n 2 -B 3.75"

which are show in the figure below.

         Solution for :math:`m=2`, :math:`n=2`, :math:`B=1`

         Solution for :math:`m=2`, :math:`n=2`, :math:`B=3.75`

Debugging
^^^^^^^^^

If we can provide the ``PetscDS`` object in our problem with the exact solution function, PETSc has good support for debugging our discretization and solver. We can use the ``PetscConvEst`` object to check the convergence behavior of our element automatically. For example, if we use the ``-snes_convergence_estimate`` option, PETSc will solve our nonlinear equations on a series of refined meshes, use our exact solution to calculate the error, and then fit this line on a log-log scale to get the convergence rate,

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex69.c
   :start-at: suffix: p2p1_conv
   :end-before: test:

If we initially refine the mesh twice, ``-dm_refine 2``, we get

  L_2 convergence rate: [3.0, 2.2]

which are the convergence rates we expect for the velocity and pressure using a :math:`P_2-P_1` discretization. For :math:`Q_1-P_0`

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex69.c
   :start-at: suffix: q1p0_conv
   :end-before: test:

we get

  L_2 convergence rate: [2.0, 1.0]

This is a sensitive check that everything is working correctly. However, if this is wrong, where can I start? More fine-grained checks are available using the ``-dmsnes_check`` option. Using this for our :math:`P_2-P_1` example (the ``p2p1`` test), we have

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/output/ex69_p2p1.out

The first line records the discretization error for our exact solution. This means that we project our solution function into the finite element space and then calculate the :math:`L_2` norm of the difference between the exact solution and its projection. The norm is computed for each field separately. Next, PETSc calculates the residual using the projected exact solution as input. This should be small, and as the mesh is refined it should approach zero. Last, PETSc uses a Taylor test to try and determine how the error in the linear model scales as a function of the perturbation :math:`h`. Thus, in a nonlinear situation we would expect

  Taylor approximation converging at order 2.0

In this case, since the viscosity does not depend on the velocity or pressure fields, we detect that the linear model is exact

  Function appears to be linear

Suppose that we have made an error in the Jacobian. For instance, let us accidentally flip the sign of the pressure term in the momentum Jacobian.

.. literalinclude:: /../src/snes/tutorials/ex69.c
   :start-at: static void stokes_momentum_pres_J
   :end-at: }

When we run, we get a failure of the nonlinear solver. Our checking reveals that the Jacobian is wrong because it is converging at order 1 instead of 2, meaning the linear term is not correct in our model.

In order to track down the error, we can use ``-snes_test_jacobian`` which computes a finite difference approximation to the Jacobian and compares that to the analytic Jacobian. We ignore the first test, which occurs during our testing of the Jacobian, and look at the test that happens during the first Newton iterate. We see that the relative error in the Frobenius norm is about one percent, which indicates we have a real problem.

At this point, we could just go back and check the code. However, PETSc will also print out the differences between the analytic and approximate Jacobians. When we give the ``-snes_test_jacobian_view`` option, the code will print both Jacobians (which we omit) and then their difference, and will also do this for the preconditioning matrix (which we omit). It is clear from the output that the :math:`u-p` block of the Jacobian is wrong, and thus we know right where to look for our error. Moreover, if we look at the values in row 15, we see that the values just differ by a sign.

Optimizing the Solver
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In order to see exactly what solver we have employed, we can use the ``-snes_view`` option. When checking :math:`P_2-P_1` convergence, we use an exact solver, but it must have several parts in order to deal with the saddle-point in the Jacobian. Using the test system to provide our extra option, we get

For each nonlinear step, we use ``KSPGMRES`` to solve the Newton equation, preconditioned by ``PCFIELDSPLIT``. We split the problem into two blocks, with the split determined by our ``DM``, and combine those blocks using a Schur complement. The Schur complement is faithful since we use the ``FULL`` factorization type.

The solver for the first block, representing the velocity, is GMRES/LU. Note that the prefix is ``fieldsplit_velocity_``, constructed automatically from the name of the field in our DM. Also note that there are two matrices, one from our original matrix, and one from our preconditioning matrix, but they are identical. In an optimized, scalable solver, this block would likely be solved by multigrid, but here we use LU for verification purposes.

The solver for the second block, with prefix ``fieldsplit_pressure_``, is also GMRES/LU, however we cannot factor the Schur complement operator since we never explicitly assemble it. Thus we assemble the viscosity-weighted mass matrix on the pressure space as an approximation. Notice that the Schur complement has the velocity solver embedded in it.

We see that they have the same nonzero pattern, even though the preconditioning matrix only contains the diagonal blocks. This is because zeros were inserted to define the nonzero structure. We can remove these nonzeros by telling the DM not to insert zero at preallocation time, and also telling the matrix itself to ignore the zeros from the assembly process.

If we want to check the convergence of the solver, we can also do that using options. Both the linear and nonlinear solvers converge in a single iteration, which is exactly what we want. In order to have this happen, we must have the tolerance on both the outer KSP solver and the inner Schur complement solver be low enough. Notice that the sure complement solver is used twice, and converges in seven iterates each time.

Starting off with an exact solver allows us to check that the discretization, equations, and boundary conditions are correct. Moreover, choosing the Schur complement formulation, rather than a sparse direct solve, gives us a path to incremental boost the scalability. Our first step will be to replace the direct solve of the momentum operator, which has cost superlinear in :math:`N`, with a more scalable alternative. Since the operator is still elliptic, despite the viscosity variation, we should be able to use some form of multigrid. We will start with algebraic multigrid because it handles coefficient variation well, even if the setup time is larger than the geometric variant.

This looks alright, but the number of iterates grows with refinement. At 3 refinements, it is 16, 30 at 4 refinements, and 70 at 5 refinements. Increasing the number of smoother iterates to four, ``-fieldsplit_velocity_mg_levels_ksp_max_it 4``, brings down the number of iterates, but not the growth. Using w-cycles and full multigrid does not help either. It is likely that the coarse grids made by MIS are inaccurate for the :math:`P_2` discretization.

We can instead use geometric multigrid, and we would hope get more accurate coarse bases. The ``-dm_refine_hierarchy`` allows us to make a hierarchy of refined meshes and sets the number of multigrid levels automatically. Then all we need to specify is ``-fieldsplit_velocity_pc_type mg``, as we see in the test

Finally, we can back off the pressure solve. ``ILU(0)`` is good enough to maintain a constant number of iterates as we refine the grid. We could continue to refine our preconditioner by playing with the tolerance of the inner multigrid and Schur complement solves, trading fewer inner iterates for more outer iterates.

We can make the problem harder by increasing the wave number and size of the viscosity perturbation. If we set the :math:`B` parameter to 6.9, we have a factor of one million increase in viscosity across the cell. At this scale, we see that we lose enough accuracy in our Jacobian calculation to defeat our Taylor test, but we are still able to solve the problem efficiently.
