Sample Problem: the Backward Facing Step

The well-studied and well-documented Backward Facing Step is useful to illustrate the steps outlined in this series. This problem is a part of the SU2 tutorials where a structured grid is used. Since our interest is in illustrating the procedure for arbitrarily complex flow domains, we’ll use a hybrid grid as detailed in this video. The video also outlines the problem setup – dimensions, BCs, export to SU2 etc.
