Abstract
Transition location of boundary layers over airfoils is predicted by using PSE(Parabolized Stability Equations) and $e^N$-method. Growth rates of disturbances are obtained from the PSE analysis and the N-factor curves are calculated by integrating the growth rates. The computational code developed in the present study is validated by comparing the computed results with the well known data for the cases of flat plate boundary layers and airfoils. Predictions of transition location are made for the boundary layers over NACA0012, NLF(1)-0414F, and NLF(1)-0416 airfoil. Predicted transition locations are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.
