SU2

Config-and-mesh CFD support for SU2 aerodynamic, incompressible, compressible, thermal, and elasticity workflows.

Runtime contract
v8.4.0LGPL-2.1-onlysimpilot-solver-su2
  • external aerodynamics and coefficient tracking
  • compressible, incompressible, RANS, Euler, and elasticity application routing
  • marker-driven boundary-condition generation from typed patch roles
  • benchmark-oriented validation using local SU2 tutorial and test-case resources
Setup and validation checklist
  • Verify the mesh file exists and marker tags match every boundary-condition declaration.
  • Confirm the solver family and turbulence model match the frozen flow regime and fidelity target.
  • Start new cases with conservative CFL and restart only from a mesh-consistent snapshot.
  • Ensure history output captures the force coefficients and convergence channels required by the V&V plan.
