+ SU2 on Github! +
+ +
You can check out all of the development activity, and new developers are encouraged to log feature requests, questions, and bug reports through the GitHub issue tracker. Developers can have their code contributions integrated through GitHub as well. For more information, look at the SU2 wiki on GitHub.
+ + + +SU2 Dev. Team at Imperial College London
+ +Our group is focused on increasing the efficiency of the next generation of air vehicles and wind turbines by exploiting aeroelastic phenomena and effectively understanding the mechanisms of aerodynamic actuation, which will allow effective control of flexible lightweight wings and blades. +
+ +SU2 Dev. Team at University of Kaiserslautern
+ +
+
+ Our group focuses on the development of methods and tools for efficient shape optimization, optimal flow control and aerocoustic optimization. This includes research in the field of Algorithmic/Automatic Differentation (AD), Adjoint-based optimization methods like One-Shot and finally the application to multi-discplinary problems involving complex and high-fidelity flow models.
+ +SU2 Dev. Team at Polytechnic U. of Milan
+ +
+
+ The laboratory of Compressible-fluid dynamics for Renewable Energy Applications (CREA, http://crealaboratory.blogspot.it/) support theoretical, experimental and numerical investigations of compressible-fluid flows for renewable energy applications. Research activities include experimental work in the Test-Rig for Organic VApors (TROVA, commissioned in 2013), the design of the Supercritical CO2 for the PRocess Industry test-rig (SCO2PRI) and the development of a number of software tools for non-ideal fluid flows: the Fluidprop thermodynamic library (www.fluidprop.com), the dense-gas branch of the SU2 CFD solver , the PoliMIce suite for ice accretion, the code RGND for nozzle design in non-ideal conditions and the FlowMesh CFD solver (http://www.aero.polimi.it/flowmesh).
+ +SU2 Dev. Team at Stanford
+ +
+
+ Our group specializes in the development of high-fidelity, multi-disciplinary analysis and design methods to enable the creation of efficient, evironmentally friendly, and realizable aerospace systems. Our work in the past has involved a large number of applications including transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic aircraft, helicopters, turbomachinery, and launch and re-entry vehicles.
+ +SU2 Dev. Team at TU Delft
+ +
+
+ Our group performs research on innovative "green" systems for propulsion and power generation. We develop new knowledge on the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics of dense vapors and supercritical fluids by performing theoretical, numerical and experimental studies, and apply it to the study of innovative technologies like the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbogenerator or the supercritical CO2 Brayton turbine. Part of our investigations covers also combustion and turbomachinery aspects of advanced gas turbines. We focus in addition on the development of system and turbomachinery fluid dynamic automated design methods.
+SU2 Dev. Team at University of Brescia
+ +The research activity focuses on the development of innovative computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes and in the application of CFD to flow simulations of industrial interest. This activity is performed with both in house developed and commercial codes, which are mainly used for the analysis and design of turbomachinery (axial and centrifugal compressors, axial and radial thermal turbines, wind turbines).
+ +SU2 Dev. Team at the University of Basilicata
+ +Our group specializes in the development of Residual Distribution (also known as Fluctuation +Splitting) schemes and unstructured shock-fitting techniques. At present, we are not developing +SU2, but rather using it to perform code-to-code verification. We are particularly interested in assessing how different unstructured grid codes perform on purely triangular meshes. We might also consider interfacing our unstructured shock-fitting algorithm with SU2. +
+ +SU2 Dev. Team at the University of Strathclyde
+ +The fluid mechanics group at the University of Strathclyde has extensive experience with the development and application of implicit Large Eddy Simulations, particularly for compressible transitional and turbulent flows, including turbulent boundary layers and turbulent mixing. Furthermore, the group is working on the development and application of multi-scale and molecular dynamics methods. +
