Hey y'all!
I am working on an 3D unsteady turbulent backward facing step case and I am having some issues with the volume fields that are available to be output. The case I am testing is incompressible, however, some of the data I am trying to gather seems to not be available from the unsteady incompressible solver. When I try to run my case with "-d" to see what volume fields I can output, I do not see any time-averaged fields. Doing the same with a compressible case lets me output the time-averaged fields which include the Reynolds-stress terms. I am trying to plot the time-averaged velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, and some Reynolds-stress terms at different point downstream of the step. Am I doing something wrong in the setup of my incompressible simulation? Is there simply no support for the time-averaged output fields in the incompressible solver? Or something else? I greatly appreciate any help provided! |

Hi, have you solved this problem?
I tried a similar case before, it's ma=0.128, as incompressible. But it seems SU2 cannot output the time average information under incommpressible flow, so I set it as compressible. But unfortunately, it's result doesn't goes well, I don't know if it's the result of compressible. So, if you carry out a result, maybe we can share experience with each other. |

compressible and incompressible volume output both call the same time-averaged output function LoadTimeAveragedData, so it *should* be the same. Or maybe you are doing something different from what I think you are doing, so could you share your compressible and incompressible config and point out what is not working and how you expect it to work?
If I run SU2_CFD -d on a compressible and an incompressible unsteady case (unsteady square case from testcases repository ), I see the following volume outputs below, did this not work for you?: Code:
|MEAN_DENSITY |TIME_AVERAGE |Mean density |MEAN_VELOCITY-X |TIME_AVERAGE |Mean velocity x-component |MEAN_VELOCITY-Y |TIME_AVERAGE |Mean velocity y-component |MEAN_PRESSURE |TIME_AVERAGE |Mean pressure |RMS_U |TIME_AVERAGE |RMS u |RMS_V |TIME_AVERAGE |RMS v |RMS_UV |TIME_AVERAGE |RMS uv |RMS_P |TIME_AVERAGE |RMS Pressure |UUPRIME |TIME_AVERAGE |Mean Reynolds-stress component u'u' |VVPRIME |TIME_AVERAGE |Mean Reynolds-stress component v'v' |UVPRIME |TIME_AVERAGE |Mean Reynolds-stress component u'v' |PPRIME |TIME_AVERAGE |Mean pressure fluctuation p'p' |

I have attached the compressible and incompressible configuration files below (as .txt in order to upload). I am using SU2 version 7.5.1 to run the square cylinder test case that you suggested, however, the version I am using to run my case is 7.3.1. It would be very difficult to upgrade the version on the system I am using, so I am trying to avoid that if possible.
In any case, I do not get the TIME_AVERAGE group for the incompressible case using the config file I attached. The compressible case does show the TIME_AVERAGE group though, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong or if there is an issue somewhere. |

OK, TIME_AVERAGE for incompressible was added last month, so you'll have to use the current development version for that. It will be in the next main release (v8).

Okay, that's good to know. I went ahead and added the changes to the older version I have and recompiled the executables manually. I am happy to report that it It has been working and I am looking forward to the new release! I appreciate your help pointing out that specific function, as I could not have figured it out without that.

That's great to hear!
By the way, why are you running the older version? If you have difficulty with installation/upgrading please let us know as well. |
