SU2 Open-Source Suite for Multiphysics Simulation and Design Workshop

Joint National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) and SU2 Foundation User Workshop

August 9, 2019  |  National Institute of Aerospace  |  100 Exploration Way, Hampton, Virginia 23666

The National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) Center for High Performance Aerospace Computing (HiPAC) and the SU2 Foundation conducted a workshop about the SU2 Open-Source Suite for Multiphysics Simulation and Design  SU2 is a widely-used open-source collection of software tools written in C++ and Python for the analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) and PDE-constrained optimization problems on unstructured meshes with state-of-the-art numerical methods.

This workshop catered to both first-time users and seasoned researchers, with morning sessions aimed towards those with less experience, and afternoon sessions aimed at those with more. The workshop was conducted at NIA Headquarters, included interactive tutorials and hackathons, and allowed in-class and remote participation. 

Prerequisites for Interactive Tutorials and Hackathon

  1. Download SU2 source code and install on your laptop (see note above). The executables are an acceptable alternative if you do not intend to modify the code. Installation instructions: 
  2. Run one or more of the SU2 tutorials
