Restart for aerofoil
 
Hi,

We are working on shape estimation of an aerofoil. For this purpose, we would like to be able to run SU2 for, say, 20 iterations, then store the results, and then -- if necessary -- come back at a later time and run for 20 more iterations.

We thought this would be possible by using the file "restart_flow.dat".

However, the resulting lift and drag when doing 20 + 20 iterations (with restart) are different from doing 40 iterations at once (without restart). Are we doing something wrong?

Thank you, cheers,

Ahsanul & Jouke
