+SU2 - Open-Source CFD code
+
+Open-source suite for Partial Differential Equation (PDE) analysis and
+PDE-constrained optimization problems. Designed with Computational
+Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and aerodynamic shape optimization in mind, but
+extensible to arbitrary sets of governing equations such as potential
+flow, elasticity, electrodynamics, chemically-reacting flows, and many
+others. Under active development by individuals all around the world
+on GitHub and is released under an open-source license.
+
+Builds parallel version by default.
+For serial version, delete the following configuration lines from
+su2.Slackbuild script:
+
+--enable-mpi
+--with-cxx=/usr/bin/mpicxx
+--with-cc=/usr/bin/mpicc
+
+and then no need for mpich / openmpi.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
