## Fluid Model ##
49+
50+
For fluid simulations, a model defining the equation of state and thermodynamic properties of the fluid or mixture is required. This is selected using the `FLUID_MODEL` option in the config. Available fluid models in SU2 include:
51+
52+
| Option Value | Description |
53+
|---|---|
54+
|`STANDARD_AIR` | Air model with ideal gas EOS |
55+
|`IDEAL_GAS` | Arbitrary fluid with ideal gas EOS |
56+
|`VW_GAS` | Arbitrary fluid with Vander-Waals EOS |
57+
|`PR_GAS` | Arbitrary fluid with Peng-Robinson EOS |
58+
|`CONSTANT_DENSITY` | Constant density |
59+
|`INC_IDEAL_GAS` | Incompressible ideal gas |
60+
|`INC_IDEAL_GAS_POLY` | Incompressible ideal gas |
61+
|`SU2_NONEQ` | SU2 nonequilibrium thermochemical library |
62+
|`MUTATIONPP` | Mutation++ nonequilibrium thermochemical library |
63+
64+
Some fluid models require the specification of additional parameters, with the full set of required options available in the configuration file template.
