Contributions summary:Peng primarily focused on integrating the CoolProp library, a state-of-the-art fluid model, into the SU2 CFD project. Their contributions involved modifying and extending existing code in the `CCoolProp.hpp` and `CCoolProp.cpp` files to enable the use of CoolProp for fluid property calculations. They also made adjustments to integrate CoolProp into the solvers and output files. Additionally, they updated the project's dependencies and configurations to reflect the integration of CoolProp and address related build issues.
