6DOF solver in SU2

jamesmarine · August 5, 2020, 04:01

A quick quesiton, does SU2 support 6DOF analysis in CFD calcualtions? i didn't find any references in the software documentation.

Well... I have been waiting to hear something on this for a long long time. I assume it has not been developed yet... And the reason is you need a powerful remeshing and smoothing features to jump into developing the 6DOF...

Anybody out there doing something with the code related to dynamic mesh or 6DOF really appreciated to give an update...

Hello James, your best bet is to implement the 6 DOF solver yourself in python and use the SU2 python wrapper: Prescribed mesh deformation unsteady simulation
This might help if you want to take this route: https://github.com/su2code/SU2/pull/902

To my knowledge no one is working on "native" 6 DOF capabilities. And from my experience people don't really pick up "feature requests".
