Hi all,

I am looking for an Open source CFD solver for turbo-machinery ( multi-stage) applications . Till now I have been using dedicated commercial CFD codes .

Although both of OF/ SU2 are good solvers (generic) , I cant say which one is better for Turbo-machinery applications ? Both don't have a dedicated turbo-machinery model

I am specifically interested in Aero-Engines applications which have compessibility effects of working fluids ( Mach no > 0.5) !

I have seen example cases from both for validation like NASA Rotor37 , but not much other published applications for gas turbine design.

Before deciding i would prefer to have user / designer experiences on using OF/SU2 !

Any suggestions / observations ?
