OVERVIEW OF VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION EFFORTS FOR PDE-BASED LAMINAR-TURBULENT TRANSITION MODELS
J.G. Coder, Penn State University, United States
This paper provides a status update on verification and validation efforts for laminar-turbulent transition models in RANS CFD applications. Despite such models having been in the literature for two decades and implemented in numerous government and commercial solvers, there is still a lack of code-to-code agreement in model definition, which inhibits verification efforts.
