AIAA CFD Transition Modeling Prediction Workshop

Objectives

  • Assess the current state of the art in laminar-turbulent transition prediction in an industrial CFD environment
  • Determine and document best practices for transitional flow simulations
  • Verify transition/turbulence model implementations
  • Encourage risk taking by participants and promote improvements to CFD prediction capabilities

General Information

  • The Transition Modeling and Prediction Workshop is modeled after the AIAA Drag Prediction and High-Lift Prediction Workshop series.
  • The primary test case will be the natural-laminar-flow variant of the Common Research Model (CRM-NLF) developed by NASA.
  • Participation in the transition modeling studies is not required to attend the workshop. Everyone is welcome!
  • Open forums and discussions will be included to encourage cross-pollination of ideas and practices.
  • Results will be made available after the workshop in a report and on the workshop website.
  • AIAA membership is not required.
