This book provides a comprehensive description of numerical methods and validation processes for predicting transitional flows based on the Langtry Menter local correlation-based transition model, integrated with both one-equation Spalart Allmaras (S A) and two-equation Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence models. A comparative study is presented to combine the respective merits of the two coupling methods in the context of predicting the boundary-layer transition phenomenon from fundamental benchmark flows to realistic helicopter rotors.

The book will of interest to industrial...
