Boundary Layer Parameters

jmiranda.aero · October 23, 2024, 20:06

Hi everyone,

Can SU2 output boundary layer metrics such as boundary layer thickness, momentum thickness, displacement thickness, and shape factor? I've tried working on this as a post-processing step parsing the flow data file but wanted to know if it is perhaps already implemented in the code as I haven't been able to find much information about it

Thank you!

No, we only output y+ values, so you'll have to construct these yourself in paraview or whatever your favourite postprocessor is.
