Aerodynamic heating in SU2

Rebeca · March 11, 2021, 03:14

Hello.

I'm trying to calculate the aerodynamic heating of a plane that is flying in a defined trayectory. Is it possible to use SU2 or with SU2 I will only obtain the temperature field of the fluid, not over the surface?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

what do you mean by "not over the surface" ?
Heat fluxes can e.g. be computed by setting a temperature boundary condition and letting SU2 evaluate them at that boundary just like it does for Cd, Cl, etc.

Best, Ole

Hi,

Thank you for answering! I want to calculate the temperature's evolution over the surface of a body inmersed in a particular flow (aerodynamic heating) and I don't know if SU2 is capable of calculating that taking into account the body's material, etc. I mean, I'm not interested on what happens with the flow, just the body (for example, to make sure the body is not going to melt because of the aerodynamic heating in a particular condition).

Best,
Rebeca

Are you talking about multiphysics, air flow plus heat distribution in a body, similar to the problem in this tutorial https://su2code.github.io/tutorials/...ted_Cylinders/ ?

Yes! That is what I'm talking about. Thank you so much!

Sure. Let's see how it works for your case. Leave me a note in case you encounter any problems
