A new regression testing system based in in-home python scripts and CruiseControl has been implemented. To maintain the highest validation standards for a RANS code, the following capabilities (among others) are tested after each svn commit:

Euler equations:
NACA 0012 - Roe 2nd order, Parallel, no multigrid.
ONERA M6 - Multigrid, JST.
Bump channel - JST w/ Runge-Kutta.
Supersonic wedge - HLLC 2nd, w/ Limiters.
 
Laminar Navier-Stokes equations:
Cylinder - Roe 2nd, Runge-Kutta explicit, no multigrid.
Flat Plate - Multigrid, JST, no limiter.
 
RANS equations:
Turb Flat Plate: SA & SST.
RAE 2822: w/ Multigrid, Roe 2nd order & JST, SA turbulence model.
ONERA M6: Roe 2nd order, w/o Multigrid, Green-Gauss.
 
Rotating frame simulations:
NACA 0012.
Caradonna-Tung blade.
 
Plasma simulations:
Argon w/ source & without source.
RAM-C: N2 gas model w/ Axisymmetric and thermochemical source terms.
 
All the simulations are performed in serial and parallel. The results have been compared with the experimental results.
SU-Tuesday is coming!

Today we set a release date for the next full release of SU2: Version 2.0 will be released on Tuesday January 8th, 2013, coinciding with AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting in Dallas.

For people in and around the Stanford area, we also hope to hold a post-release workshop on campus a week before the release. Details to come soon.

Some of the additions that we are planning for v2.0 include:

  • Validated turbulence models
  • Design capability for RANS simulations
  • Plasma solver for air
  • Parallel Input/Output
  • Further integration with Python
  • Grid adaptation
  • Incompressible RANS solver
