Work History

January 2026

9 Commits • 2 Features

Jan 1, 2026

January 2026 (su2code/SU2) focused on two core areas: performance optimization of numerical routines and ordering, and a broad code quality/maintenance refresh to improve readability, configurability, and cross-platform stability. Performance work removed debug output and refined RCM ordering, while maintenance work modernized constants, reduced warnings, and simplified configuration. The combined effort delivered faster numeric workflows, more reliable builds across platforms, and a cleaner, safer codebase ready for future enhancements.

Nov 1, 2024

Monthly summary for 2024-11 (su2code/SU2): Delivered a critical robustness enhancement by adding configuration validation for solver and turbulence model in CConfig. The validation enforces that turbulence models are specified with transition models and that Euler solvers are used only with compatible slip wall markers, reducing misconfigurations and runtime failures. The change strengthens reliability for users configuring solvers and turbulence models and lowers support overhead. Repository: su2code/SU2. Implemented as part of bug fix work in 2024-11, linked to commit a590f82091fdafabf687f66be1be7d44b48de32a with message 'some checks for bad setup'.
