2Lately, thanks to a joint effort of many developers spread all over the world, included members of the CREALab, SU2 has been extended to the simulations of Non-Ideal Compressible-Fluid Flows.
The NICFD solver from SU2 is currently being used by researchers @CREALab to investigate numerically the complex compressible fluid phenomena that may arise in the limit of Non-Ideal regime.
In particular, efforts are pledged to the investigation of non-ideal oblique shock-waves producing a Mach number increase, the investigation of complex shock patterns observed around and past a diamond-shaped airfoil in a supersonic wind tunnel (including shock-shock interactions and shock reflections) and to reproduce the expected signal generated by fast-response pressure probes, for measurements within moleculary complex fluids.
