Pitching NACA64A010

wystone · May 15, 2020, 17:38

HELLO,

I am trying to run the pitching NACA64A010 unsteady case with SU2 7.0.4. However, large discrepancy was observed between the results of SU2 6.2 and SU2 7.0.4 when using the same CFD set-up. It seems to me that the SU2 7.0.4 somehow produces wrong moment, whereas the results of SU2 6.2 agree well with the literature. Does anyone have the similar problems?

Thanks.

What was the literature you were referring to? For my pitch-plunge case I do see a difference

Hi wystone,

To make it short: there was a bug which was just worked out regarding grid velocities on Euler/Symmetry walls. I hope that it will be in the next SU2 stable version soon. Until then you can check out the branch `fix_gridvel` and try the case with that.

I'll write a note here when that is merged.

I am optimistic that this will recover the results of 6.2

Cheers, Tobi

Hi TKatt,
Many thanks for the clarification. That will be great if the bug can be fixed in the next SU2 version.
Cheers.

It should be fixed and the version got out today.
