Computational analysis tools have revolutionized the way we design engineering systems, but most established codes are proprietary, unavailable, or prohibitively expensive for many users. The SU2 team is changing this, making multiphysics analysis and design optimization freely available as open-source software and involving everyone in its creation and development.

Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.

SU2 is a suite of open-source software tools written in C++ for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDE) and performing PDE constrained optimization.

The primary applications are computational fluid dynamics and aerodynamic shape optimization, but has been extended to treat more general equations such as electrodynamics and chemically reacting flows.

You can find precompiled binaries of the latest version on our download page or under releases.

The build system of SU2 is based on a combination of meson (as the front-end) and ninja (as the back-end). Meson is an open source build system meant to be both extremely fast, and, even more importantly, as user friendly as possible. Ninja is a small low-level build system with a focus on speed.

Short summary of the minimal requirements:

• C/C++ compiler
• Python 3

Note: all other necessary build tools and dependencies are shipped with the source code or are downloaded automatically.
