Contents

Assignment 1: Compile SU2

SU2 v8.4.0 compiled from source on Ubuntu 24.04 with GCC 13.3.0 using Meson 1.10.1. Both serial and MPI builds completed successfully. All standard tutorials ran without errors.

Assignment 2: Axisymmetric Turbulent Jet

2D axisymmetric turbulent jet simulated using INC_RANS with SST k-omega. Mesh generated with gmsh. See assignment2/report.md.

Assignment 3: Python Wrapper — Unsteady CHT Flat Plate

Unsteady CHT flat plate run using pysu2.CSinglezoneDriver with time-varying wall temperature. See assignment3/report.md.

Assignment 4: Spatially Varying Wall Temperature

Flat plate with sinusoidal wall temperature T(x) = 300 + 50sin(2pi*x/0.5) K applied per vertex via Python wrapper. See assignment4/report.md.

Assignment 5: Speed of Sound — New Volume and Screen Output

Added local speed of sound as a new output field in CFlowCompOutput.cpp. Confirmed value of 347.22 m/s consistent with freestream at T=300 K. See assignment5/report.md.
