SU2 (formerly Stanford University Unstructured) 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,. SU2 has an integrated continuous and discrete adjoint solver, which is used for sensitivity analysis and design optimization. To stimulate development and use of SU2, the SU2 Foundation was founded. The SU2 foundation also organizes periodic conferences and workshops.
