Dear all,

I have some problem with Lagrange multipliers: Maybe I misinterpret my results, but somehow they don't have the effect I expected.

Looking at the solution of systems_of_equations_ex3, (using paraview) I see the (real part of) pressure r_p to be 0 at time step 0 and than it jumps to ~10, where it stays for the rest of the simulation. But isn't it actually enforced to stay at 0 "forever"?

I also tried to change its value to some other fixed (and time-dependent) ones:

                   Kpu(i,j) += JxW[qp]*psi[i][qp]*dphi[j][qp](0);


However, even though the values change a bit, the general behaviour stays the same.

Could someone please help me clarifying, what is wrong here?

Thanks in advance,

Tobias
