SU2 2.0.8 stops with the option LINEAR_SOLVER=LU_SGS
I want to run the simulation by using the following parameter in config file with SU2 2.0.8 release:
LINEAR_SOLVER= LU_SGS, the code stop immediately by giving the following error: ERROR: Cannot find value LU_SGS in given map. Please check the name of the variable in the config file. LINEAR_SOLVER= BCGSTAB, the code runs normally. The question here is that is the LU_SGS option will not be available in the next regular release or its a bug in this developer release. |
LU_SGS does work for pre-conditioner option (LINEAR_SOLVER_PREC)

Hi Taxalian,
SU2 now uses Krylov subspace methods to solve the sparse linear system in SU2_CFD. As Tom said, you can still use LU_SGS as a pre-conditioner for the linear system. Try: LINEAR_SOLVER= FGMRES -or- LINEAR_SOLVER= BCGSTAB These Krylov methods are powerful and have consistently shown better performance than LU_SGS for the developer test cases. At this time, there are no plans to re-implement LU_SGS as a primary linear solver within SU2. Regards, Sean |
Thanks Tom and Copeland for your reply, i also figured it out about these options in the config_template file available with the SU2 2.0.8 release.
