Hello SU2 community,

I am interested in exploring transpiration cooling techniques for thermal management in aerospace applications. I am wondering if SU2 is capable of simulating transpiration cooling phenomena, and if so, what methodologies or approaches would you recommend?

Specifically, I am curious about:
1. Modeling the porous media representing the transpiration surface.
2. Implementing heat transfer and fluid flow interactions within the porous medium.
3. Validating the results against experimental or analytical data.

If anyone has experience or insights into using SU2 for transpiration cooling simulations, I would greatly appreciate your guidance and recommendations.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Good to know that you are working on this subject. There is a branch which I am developing with my colleague. The branch is https://github.com/su2code/SU2/tree/...s_media_topopt. This branch is only limited to solving topology optimization problems. However, with my limited knowledge, I think it can be easily adapted to solve the problems you are referring to.

Cheers,
