N2 - Laminar-turbulent transition modeling in RANS-based computational fluid dynamics is becoming increasingly prevalent in simulations. Accordingly, there is a need for standardized test cases for transition model verification and validation to support both implementation of existing models into flow solvers and development of new models. Six test cases are put forth in this paper for this purpose, and encompass both two- and three-dimensional flows with a variety of transition mechanisms. The two-dimensional cases are the zero-pressure-gradient flat plate, a wind-turbine airfoil, and a general-aviation airfoil. The three-dimensional cases are a prolate spheroid, a sickle-shaped wing, and a high-speed elliptic cone. Experimental data are available for all cases. Flow conditions for the cases are provided along with suggested gridding guidelines, with grids being made publicly available for some of the cases.
