fix: five critical and moderate bugs in wall model, radiation solver, file parsing, and security
Summary
This PR fixes 5 bugs in SU2: 3 critical division by zero issues and 2 moderate bugs affecting stability and security.
Bugs Fixed
1. Wall Model Convergence (wall_model.cpp:312) - CRITICAL
Issue: Division by zero on first iteration when tauWall_prev=0.0 and qWall_prev=0.0.
Fix: Added ternary checks to prevent division by zero.
Impact: Prevents crashes in LES wall model simulations.
2. Wall Model Gamma (wall_model.cpp:398) - CRITICAL
Issue: exp(1.0/Gamma) causes NaN/Inf when Gamma ≈ 0 (fine meshes).
Fix: Added epsilon check (1e-20) with capped exponential.
Impact: Prevents NaN/Inf in heat flux calculations.
3. Radiation Emissivity (CRadP1Solver.cpp:286,360,434) - CRITICAL
Issue: Division by zero when Wall_Emissivity=2.0 in (2.0 - Wall_Emissivity).
Fix: Clamp emissivity to valid range [0,1].
Impact: Prevents crashes with invalid emissivity configs (3 functions fixed).
4. Restart Metadata (CSolver.cpp:3386) - MODERATE
Issue: Incorrect offset (9 vs 5) when parsing "ITER=" from restart files.
Fix: Corrected to 5 chars, resolved TODO.
Impact: Fixes iteration number reading from restart files.
5. Buffer Overflow (CPhysicalGeometry.cpp:8255,8569) - MODERATE
Issue: Unsafe strcpy() with fixed buffer fname[100].
Fix: Replaced with strncpy() + null termination.
Impact: Prevents buffer overflow with long filenames (security fix).
