exporting pressure distribution
 
Good night

I think it's a newbe question but...

I'm comparing the code with some airfoil experimental data. I need to plot the two pressure distributions (exp // CFD). How can I write the pressure distribution of the airfoil to a file in SU2 ?

thanks.

Dear Leo,

SU2 will output a surface data file, usually called surface_flow.dat, which contains the information you are looking for. You can plot this using Tecplot or perhaps the freely available Paraview (I think). If it is easier, you can also import this data into a spreadsheet program and plot it there.

I hope this helps!
