SU2改变输出结果变量的方法

有时候在使用SU2的计算结果进行后处理时会发现没有想要的数据。这时可以通过修改配置文件进行解决，可以找来SU2官方的全配置文件查找相关配置代码。其下载链接可在我的SU2常见问题这篇文章中找到。

首先，我们可以在全配置文件中找到这样一段代码：

% ------------------------- SCREEN/HISTORY VOLUME OUTPUT --------------------------%
%
% Screen output fields (use 'SU2_CFD -d <config_file>' to view list of available fields)
SCREEN_OUTPUT= (INNER_ITER, RMS_DENSITY, RMS_MOMENTUM-X, RMS_MOMENTUM-Y, RMS_ENERGY)

% Volume output fields/groups (use 'SU2_CFD -d <config_file>' to view list of available fields)
VOLUME_OUTPUT= (COORDINATES, SOLUTION, LIMITER)

按上面的提示，在命令行输入SU2_CFD -d <config_file>其中<config_file>为你需要计算的case的配置文件名称，其实，对于轻度运用来说，所有的操作都是围绕着配置文件进行的。
可以看到如下表单

Available volume output fields for the current configuration in Zone 0 (Comp. Fluid):
Note: COORDINATES and SOLUTION groups are always in the volume output.

其中第一列是输出变量的名称，第二列是VOLUME_OUTPUT= (COORDINATES, SOLUTION, LIMITER)中后面括号中参数的名称。第三列是变量的具体解释。如果不在配置文件中加这行代码，SU2会默认输出SOLUTION和COORDINATES。
比如说想输出LIMITER_VELOCITY_X这个量，就加上VOLUME_OUTPUT= (COORDINATES, SOLUTION, LIMITER)
值得注意的是，对于不可压缩流和可压缩流来说其输出是不同的。上图是可压缩流的结果。下图是不可压缩流的输出变量表。
