From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SU2 code
Remove ads

SU2 is a suite of open-source software tools written in C++ for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDE) and performing PDE-constrained optimization. The primary applications are computational fluid dynamics and aerodynamic shape optimization,[2] but has been extended to treat more general equations such as electrodynamics and chemically reacting flows. SU2 supports continuous and discrete adjoint for calculating the sensitivities/gradients of a scalar field.

Capabilities

The SU2 tools suite solution suite includes[6]

  • High-fidelity analysis and adjoint-based design using unstructured mesh technology.
  • Compressible and incompressible Euler, Navier-Stokes, and RANS solvers.
  • Additional PDE solvers for electrodynamics, linear elasticity, heat equation, wave equation and thermochemical non-equilibrium.
  • Convergence acceleration (multi-grid, preconditioning, etc.).
  • Sensitivity information via the continuous adjoint methodology[7] approach.
  • Adaptive, goal-oriented mesh refinement and deformation.
  • Modularized[8] C++ object-oriented design.
  • Parallelization with MPI.
  • Python scripts for automation.
  • FEATool Multiphysics features built-in GUI and CLI interfaces for SU2.
