HPC SU2

Treat SU2 as a configuration-driven CFD stack centered on the .cfg file.

Start

1. Read references/config-and-workflow.md before creating or editing a SU2 case.
2. Read references/marker-and-boundary-matrix.md when mapping mesh markers to physical boundaries.
3. Read references/convergence-and-execution.md when choosing solver settings, execution commands, and convergence controls.
4. Read references/cluster-execution-playbook.md when staging a SU2 case for scheduler-backed cluster execution.
5. Read references/error-recovery.md when the config, mesh import, or run fails.

Additional References

Load these on demand:

• references/solver-and-physics-matrix.md for solver-family and physics option selection
• references/output-restart-and-history.md for OUTPUT_FILES, history fields, and restart policy
• references/time-domain-and-multizone.md for transient, windowed convergence, and multizone workflows
• references/cluster-execution-playbook.md for launch style, restart control, and cluster-side convergence monitoring

Reusable Templates

Use assets/templates/ when a concrete config skeleton is needed, especially:

• incompressible_steady.cfg
• compressible_external_aero.cfg
• unsteady_windowed.cfg
• su2-cfd-slurm.sh

Guardrails

• Do not invent config keywords outside documented SU2 options.
• Do not mismatch mesh marker names and config marker sections.
• Do not assume compressible and incompressible setups share the same variable conventions.
• Do not ignore convergence history and residual trends during solver tuning.

Outputs

Report:

• solver family
• mesh and marker assumptions
• key config sections touched
• convergence and output files expected
