Generated from SU2 commit 6b54b78464 on 2026-10-23. Do not edit this page. Edit the comment above the option in Common/src/CConfig.cpp instead.

EQUIV_AREA

Evaluate equivalent area on the Near-Field

More in config_template.cfg: Evaluate equivalent area on the Near-Field (NO, YES)

• Type: YES / NO
• Default: NO
• In config_template.cfg: EQUIV_AREA= NO
• Used in 3 test case files, for example: Arina2KRS.cfg (NO), BIPARABOLIC.cfg (YES)
• Code: CConfig.cpp line 2552

EA_INT_LIMIT

Integration limits of the equivalent area ( xmin, xmax, Dist_NearField )

• Type: fixed-size list of real numbers
• Default: Not extracted; see the code.
• In config_template.cfg: EA_INT_LIMIT= ( 1.6, 2.9, 1.0 )
• Used in 2 test case files, for example: BIPARABOLIC.cfg (( -100.0, 100.0, 2.0 )), NACA64206.cfg (( 234.854, 313.354, 220.38))
• Code: CConfig.cpp line 2555

EA_SCALE_FACTOR

Equivalent area scaling factor

More in config_template.cfg: Equivalent area scale factor ( EA should be ~ force based objective functions )

• Type: real number
• Default: 1.0
• In config_template.cfg: EA_SCALE_FACTOR= 1.0
• Used in 1 test case file, for example: NACA64206.cfg (1.0)
• Code: CConfig.cpp line 2557
