I want to simulate a case of supersonic flow over a forward facing step in a wind tunnel and in the open.
For the case of the wind tunnel these are the boundary condition I want to prescribe.
1. Inlet - Mass flow
2. Bottom(including step) - wall
3. Top - wall
4. outlet - pressure far field
The problem is I do not know which outlet boundary condition corresponds to the pressure far field condition. In fact I unable to figure out what exactly some of the boundary conditions do as I couldn't find much documentation related to it.

For the case of the step in the open, I intend to specify the following boundary conditions.
1. Inlet - Mass flow
2. Bottom(including step) - wall
3. Top - far field
4. outlet - far field

Are these conditions right? I am again uncertain as these worked in a commercial flow solver but doesn't work here.

So please answer at least this question that where can I look for pressure far field boundary condition.

You can use the farfield marker as shown below for farfield pressure boundary condition.

% Marker of the far field (0 = no marker)
MARKER_FAR= ( farfield )

and the marker below for an euler wall boundary condition
% Marker of the Euler boundary (0 = no marker)
MARKER_EULER= ( Wall )

Also the tutorial in the link below should help with the other boundary conditions

where the name within the parenthesis is the name you give the boundary in the su2 mesh file. Hope this helps.
