Transition prediction based on linear stability theory is expected to more accurately reflect the causality of transition onset than phenomenological transition models based on RANS-like transport equations. To help achieve the CFD vision 2030 aim of building a CFD tool chain with automated prediction of boundary layer transition, a technique to loosely tie the NASA OVERFLOW CFD solver with the LASTRAC stability analysis tool is described. The coupled solver is then used to compute transition over selected over a flat plate in a freestream with sufficiently low levels of turbulence, NLF(1)-0416 airfoil, the 6:1 prolate spheroid at an angle of attack, and a NASA juncture flow model with symmetric wing configuration. The findings show that the loosely coupled approach can reliably predict the transition location accurately in scenarios that are dominated by a single transition mechanism involving Tollmien-Schlichting instabilities, crossflow instabilities, or separation bubble-induced transition, or include a mixture of selected mechanisms. The toolset presents here appears to be robust to the prescription of the initial transition location, and it can lead to a converged solution in four or five rounds of the mean flow calculation and stability analysis, with minimal input from the user.
