[aspect-devel] Benchmark

Dear Timo,

I ran the benchmark with only 1 core, and I got the same results as you!
Which makes me wonder, why it can only be run on 1 core. Do you know that?
However, besides running your test, I also ran a model with increased
resolution of ncellx = 32 or ref = 5. As soon as I did that, the errors and
maximum and minimum pressure were all wrong again, as you can see in the
enclosed figures. The reason for this is probably that the corners of the
domain show very extreme pressures, almost as if the model is not well
resolved there. Of course, these excesses in pressure lead automatically to
an increase in error. Could the reason for these badly resolved pressures
in the corners of the domain be that the solver can not handle the
resulting matrix very well, because of the many boundary conditions at the
corner elements?
Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Iris
