Alternative to the en Method for Determining Onset of Transition

We employ a two-equation model similar to that employed in turbulent calculations. It is based on the premise that, if a flow quantity can be written as the sum of a mean and a fluctuating quantity, then the exact equations that govern the fluctuations and their averages are identical irrespective of the nature of the oscillations, i.e., laminar, transitional, or turbulent
