Aims and Scope
With the general increase of the use and importance of CFD
methods and the increased wish for highly accurate
simulations, the need has grown for the availability of
reliable transition prediction methods for configurations
from many different application areas ranging from
turbomachinery and aircraft flows to helicopters and wind
turbines. On the one hand, the physical effects to be
simulated, the transition mechanisms and their parameters
have grow n. On the other hand, the configurations are
becoming more and more complex. Thus, the availability of
different transition modelling approaches serving as
complementary techniques in CFD codes is highly beneficial.


The aim of the course is to discuss the physical phenomena
in different transition processes and the appropriate
approaches for considering them in CFD simulations focusing
on external
aerodynamic flows and internal turbomachinery flows based on
the intense development of transition modelling approaches
which have been realized in the last decade. Topics of grow
ing importance are transition in flows over vehicles at
supersonic and hypersonic speeds and environmental inf
luences on transition at laminar f low technology aircraft.


Specifically, the course aims to provide:
 Overview of transition modelling approaches
 Discussion of transition mechanisms
 Detailed discussion of approaches, dependent on the
application area
 Recommendation for appropriate and ef fective application
of transition modelling
approaches
