Proposed Changes

Implements variable density treatment for unsteady incompressible flow simulations. Currently, SU2 uses constant density in transient simulations, which is inaccurate for combustion cases where density varies significantly due to heat release and species composition changes. This contribution enables proper density updates during time-stepping for flamelet-based combustion modeling. For now, only 1st order time marching is implemented

PR Checklist

  • I am submitting my contribution to the develop branch.
  • My contribution generates no new compiler warnings (try with --warnlevel=3 when using meson).
  • My contribution is commented and consistent with SU2 style (https://su2code.github.io/docs_v7/Style-Guide/).
  • I used the pre-commit hook to prevent dirty commits and used pre-commit run --all to format old commits.
  • I have added a test case that demonstrates my contribution, if necessary.
  • I have updated appropriate documentation (Tutorials, Docs Page, config_template.cpp), if necessary.

Hi @pcarruscag !

Yes, I can help reviewing this PR.

Please let me know if you need something else from my side

@Cristopher-Morales I guess the changes to the preconditioner can be removed from this PR since we now have your implementation

Removed debug print statement from SetPrimVar function.
Comment on lines 102 to 105

inline void Set_Density_time_n(unsigned long iPoint, su2double val) {
Density_time_n[iPoint] = val;
}

Documentation must be added, similar to the function above SetDensity, Same for the two functions below Set_Density_unsteady and GetDensity_time_n
