The laminar-turbulent transition triggered by crossflow vortices is important for aeronautical applications. The Langtry-Menter transition model, coupled to the SST model, is implemented and evaluated. This work is concerned with an assessment of different empirical correlations to address crossflow effects. The impact of different freestream turbulent properties is also addressed and discussed.
