### Running SU2
223+
224+
The actuator disk with variable load test case is small and will execute relatively quickly on a single workstation or laptop in serial. To run this test case, follow these steps at a terminal command line:
225+
1. Move to the directory containing the configuration file ([propeller_variable_load.cfg](https://github.com/su2code/SU2/tree/master/TestCases/rans/actuatordisk_variable_load/propeller_variable_load.cfg)), the mesh file ([propeller_variable_load.su2](https://github.com/su2code/TestCases/tree/master/rans/actuatordisk_variable_load/propeller_variable_load.su2)) and the propeller input data file ([ActuatorDisk.dat](https://github.com/su2code/SU2/tree/master/TestCases/rans/actuatordisk_variable_load/ActuatorDisk.dat)). Make sure that the SU2 tools were compiled, installed, and that their install location was added to your path.
226+
2. Run the executable by entering
227+
228+
```
229+
$ SU2_CFD propeller_variable_load.cfg
230+
```
231+
232+
at the command line.
233+
3. SU2 will print residual updates with each iteration of the flow solver, and the simulation will terminate after meeting the specified convergence criteria.
234+
4. Files containing the results will be written upon exiting SU2. The flow solution can be visualized in ParaView (.vtk) or Tecplot (.dat for ASCII).
