Hello

Dear Developers,

Thank you for new release along with educational version which is a great idea.

Recently I am studying wind turbine performance in wind farm. Consequently for numerical study of the concept I decided to use SU2 for some reasons. Although, for better explaining the concepts, a pathline picture have been attached from a simulation of mine albeit with other solver. Following this further, I am defining stationary zone and rotational zone periodically in my grid. First point that I am wondering about is it possible to have stationary and rotational zone in one simulation using SU2's rotational frame options in the last version? anticipating your answer, then should we define interface boundary condition between two zones?
The second point is that numerical study for such a concepts confront with heavy computational cost which enforce me to simplify the simulation by using conformal and non-conformal periodic boundary condition. Consequently, I need to use parallel processing with these periodic boundaries, stationary and rotational zones along with RANS equations. Already, I found out that periodic boundaries could be used in parallel in version 2.0.2 and rotational frame could be used with Euler equation in serial in version 2, but is it possible to use all the aforementioned capability (periodic boundaries, stationary and rotational zones, RANS equation and parallel) in later versions like 2.0.5 or 2.0.8 or even 3.0.0?
If no, how can one develop these capabilities in the code?

Thanks ever so much for your consideration. I really do appreciate your hint.

Bests,
Payam
