<h2 class="header-light regular-pad">What is SU2?</h2>

<blockquote>

<p>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 software freely available and involving everyone in its creation and development.</p>

<p>Find a detailed description of the code philosophy, components, and implementations in the SU2 <a href="https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/1.J053813">AIAA Journal article</a>. Whether it's <a href="documents/AIAA-2016-3518.pdf">discrete adjoints</a>, <a href="documents/2017_J._Phys.3A_Conf._Ser._821_012013.pdf">non-ideal compressible CFD</a>, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compfluid.2016.02.003">high-performance computing</a>, or <a href="documents/AIAA-2018-3111.pdf"> incompressible flows with heat transfer</a>, SU2 has something for you.</p>
