SU² (Stanford University Unstructured) is a suite of open-source software tools written in C++ for the numerical solution of partial differential equations and performing PDE constrained optimization. The primary applications are computational fluid dynamics and aerodynamic shape optimization ^[1], but has been extended to treat more general equations such as electrodynamics and chemically reacting flows.
