Inverse Design - Incompressible solver

A.Roy · January 9, 2024, 19:59

Hello SU2 community,

Is inverse design possible on the INC_RANS solver in SU2?
I am able to run inverse design cases no problem in the compressible solver, but whether in my full case setup, or with the NACA0012 inverse design test case as a model scenario, I am unable to get the shape_optimization.py script to run beyond the flow calculation - the error message i get (attached below for the NACA0012 inverse design case) is very similar to that which is referred to in the following CFD-Online and github links, but it looks like the resolution of Issue 1727 seems to be already implemented into the historyMap.py file within SU2 8.0.0 - Harrier.

Please help if anybody is able to advise a fix for the above, thank you kindly!

Yes, inverse design also works for incompressible flows. I do not use these scripts, maybe there are some compressible specific lines in there.

Fair enough, I will take a closer look; thank you for the confirmation!
