The governing equations are RANS with the Spalart-Allmaras (`SA`) turbulence model. By entering `KIND_TRANS_MODEL= BC`, the Bas-Cakmakcioglu Algebraic Transition Model is activated. This model requires freestream turbulence intensity that is to be used in the transition correlation, thus the `FREESTREAM_TURBULENCEINTENSITY` option is also used. The BC model achieves its purpose by modifying the production term of the 1-equation SA turbulence model. The production term of the SA model is damped until a considerable amount of turbulent viscosity is generated, and after that point, the damping effect on the transition model is disabled. Thus, a transition from laminar to turbulent flow is obtained.

The incompressible freestream properties are specified as follows. (Please see "Notes" for freestream properties of other transitional flat plate test cases).
