The hybrid DLR RANS solver TAU coupled to a transition prediction module was successfully applied to a single-element airfoil automatically taking into account the locations of laminar-turbulent transition. The experimentally measured transition locations could be reproduced with very high accuracy. A sensitivity study of the parameters of the coupling procedure was performed in order to investigate the behaviour of the coupled system with respect to the accuracy and robustness of the iteration procedure for the transition locations. The transition prediction coupling structure and the underlying algorithm are described. The functions of the coupling parameters and their impact on the transition location iteration and the convergence of the simulations are described and documented.
