Remarks0. General overview
This node contains the options and parameters for a transition region. It is used only, if more than one region is defined.
1. <maxReynoldsNumber> (mandatory)
Upper limit of the RE-Region (less than this value). The region ranges from (including it) the end of previous region (or 0 if this is the first region) up to this value).
2. <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).
3. <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).
4. <polynomialCoefficients> (mandatory)
List of polynomial coefficients, used to specify the transition as an n-th grade polynomial of the local Reynolds number.
