Hi everyone,
is it possible to enable body forces (i.e. gravity) in SU2v4 or v5? I went through config_template.cfg but I couldn't find any flag for it. The Chalmers Master thesis "Benchmark and validation of Open Source CFD codes, with focus on compressible and rotating capabilities, for integration on the SimScale platform" (http://publications.lib.chalmers.se/...965/198965.pdf) states in section 2.3.1 that : "The source term Q can contain a gravity term, with g = 9.81 if the user chooses so. The gravity term can at this point (SU2 version 2.0.8) only be chosen in the z-direction in 3D-calculations or y-direction for 2D-calculations" Thanks a lot, Alberto |

I just noticed that such feature is implemented in SU2 v6.0, nice one!
