Implementation and Verification of a Correlation Based Transition Prediction Method

In many applications such as turbine and aircraft design, boundary layer transition prediction is an important topic. This paper deals with the implementation and verification of a correlation based transition prediction method previously presented by Menter and Langtry. The two additional transport equations used for predicting transition and a novel set of equations for the production terms are implemented into the CFD code Edge. The results are compared to the well-known Ercoftac wind tunnel results.
