Hi SU2 Users,
I have tried to compute the NREL S-series wind turbine airfoil s809 test case available in SU2 v2.0.3 developers release.

The transition model implemented seems to be the γ−Reθt−SA model, introduced by Medida et al.

The problem is that the simulation diverges everytime few iterations and the residual of SA-eddy viscosity results in nan.

I tried to adjust the intermittency factor and the freestream turbulence intensity but does not help at all. I think this should not be the case normally at AoA=0°.

May be the model is not yet implemented completely or i don't what other issues causes the simulation not to converge.

May be it's also a good idea if we can have an input parameter that defines the freestream viscosity ratio i.e. mu_turb / mu_lam

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks in advance.
