This paper presents the results of tests and validations of the
-Re
model proposed by Menter et al. (2006, “A Correlation-Based Transition Model Using Local Variables—Part I: Model Formation,” ASME J. Turbomach., 128, pp. 413–422), which was extended by in-house correlations for onset location and transition length. The tests performed were based on experimental data from the flat plate test cases available at the ERCOFTAC database as well as on experimental data from the turbine blade profile investigated at Czestochowa University of Technology. Further on, the model was applied for unsteady calculations of the blade profile test case, where chosen inlet conditions (turbulent intensity and wake parameters) were applied. For the selected case, numerical results were compared not only with the experimental data but also with the results obtained with other transition models. It was shown that the applied model was able to reproduce some essential flow features related to the bypass and wake-induced transition, and the simulations revealed good agreement with the experimental results in terms of localization and extent of wake-induced transition.
