Testing of a new algebraic laminar-turbulent transition model on a range of airfoils at moderate Reynolds numbers

Abstract

High quality prediction of laminar-turbulent transition for flow around airfoils is an important task for industrial applications. Prediction of such flows is usually carried out using the RANS framework in combination with transition models. The present study shows the capability of a recently developed algebraic transition model for prediction flows around different airfoils. The results of the model demonstrate satisfactory agreement with the experimental data and with results of existing differential models.
