0. General overview

This node contains the options and parameters for the last transition region. It ranges from (including) the maximum value of the prvious transition region, or from 0, if this is the only transition region. It ranges up to a Reynolds number of infinity.

1. <laminarFormFactor> (optional)

Form factor for the laminar part of the transition region. If this value is not specified, the laminar form factor is calculated from the turbulent one. If the turbulent form factor is missing as well, both form factors are calculated automatically (individually for each wing strip).

2. <turbulentFormFactor> (optional)

Form factor for the turbulent part of the transition region. If this value is not specified, the turbulent form factor is calculated from the laminar one. If the laminar form factor is missing as well, both form factors are calculated automatically (individually for each wing strip).

3. <polynomialCoefficients> (mandatory)

List of polynomial coefficients, used to specify the transition as an n-th grade polynomial of the local Reynolds number.
