I tried to output the pitching moment for the M6 wing, but it is always ignored by the solver. How can I turned it on ?

Thanks


% Screen output fields
SCREEN_OUTPUT = (INNER_ITER, RMS_DENSITY, RMS_NU_TILDE, LIFT, MOMENT-Y, DRAG)

Hi,

there seems to be a typo in the documentation and/or the code. The fields for the moments are called MOMENT_X, MOMENT_Y, MOMENT_Z

It is a little bit inconsistent with the rest of the fields and we might change that soon.

Thanks for the question!

Glad that it works. You can also use SU2_CFD -d <your_configfile> to get a list of all possible output fields (at least with v7.0.0, in v7.0.1 there is a small bug, which will be fixed in the next maintenance release)

How do I print out the adjoint results such as sensitivity etc. in both the history and surface files in SU2 v7? I managed to get the flow results. However, when I use the command SU2_CFD -d config.cfg file, I do not see how to print out the adjoint related results.


Thanks

Hi cfdjetman,

you have to set MATH_PROBLEM to DISCRETE_ADJOINT or CONTINUOUS_ADJOINT in order to see the fields available for the adjoint solvers.

Thanks, I was able to find the required options.


However, I ran into few problems.
1. When I use the parallel_computation.py script to run the cfd simulation over an airfoil, the surface_flow.csv only contains data from the leading edge to approx. 0.3*chord length. The rest of the data is missing.


2. When I use the discrete_adjoint.py script to run both the cfd and the adjoint simulations, the surface_adjoint.csv and surface_sens.csv only contains data from around 0.7*chord length to the trailing edge. The surface_flow.csv in this case has the exact same data as the surface_adjoint.csv file.


These are the settings I used to print out this data


% Screen output
SCREEN_OUTPUT=(INNER_ITER, RMS_DENSITY, RMS_NU_TILDE, LIFT, DRAG, SENS_GEO, SENS_AOA, RMS_ADJ_DENSITY, RMS_ADJ_NU_TILDE)
%
% History output groups (use 'SU2_CFD -d <config_file>' to view list of available fields)
HISTORY_OUTPUT= (ITER, RMS_RES, AERO_COEFF, AOA, WALL_TIME, MAX_RES, BGS_RES, SENSITIVITY)
%
% Volume output fields/groups (use 'SU2_CFD -d <config_file>' to view list of available fields)
VOLUME_OUTPUT= (COORDINATES, SOLUTION, PRIMITIVE, SENSITIVITY)
