SU2 v8.0.0 "Harrier" has just been released!


https://su2code.github.io/download.html


Some highlights in v8:

• A complete re-work of the Python wrapper to allow in-memory mesh deformation, increased flexibility to access the solution for post-processing or initialization, and also to manipulate boundary conditions during the solution (see examples)
• Modeling of combustion (flamelet approach)
• Improved performance for hybrid parallel discrete adjoint solvers
• Data-driven fluid models
• Improved consistency of the SST implementation with literature, with SST-2003m becoming the new default

A big thank you to all the people who contributed! The full release notes can be found here:

Note that many features are accompanied by a validation testcase that can be found in the TestCases folder,

and the full list of available configuration options can be found in the config_template.cfg file in the root folder of SU2,
