Initial condition for shock tube simulation

[vachan-potluri]

Hi,

I had realised that SU2 currently doesn't support discontinuous initial conditions. They are commonly encountered in shock tube simulations. I just implemented this on my fork: master...vachan-potluri:SU2_fork:shocktube.

This was inspired from here: https://github.com/vino-123/SU2_v.50_shock_tube/commit/956a3594d3aa4653126fd20ffed7bfadf926cf5b.

It would be great to have this feature shipped with SU2.

There have been some very recent developments to improve the python wrapper, including creating more advanced initial and boundary conditions, see e.g. #1938

Maybe you can have a look and see if this works for you. Would be great to see more usage of the python wrapper.

I didn't know that. Thanks for informing! I will check this out.

I however feel this aspect can be better documented in the tutorials.

This part of the python wrapper is work in progress, it is not part of a release yet.
But yes we need contributors :)
