A 2D subsonic flow over a flat plate with a freestream Mach number M(infinity) up to 0.8 is considered. The flow can experience continuous uniform suction through the wall and the wall can be heated or cooled continuously with a fixed wall temperature. For a specific combination of M(infinity), suction velocity, and level of heat transfer, the mean flow problem is solved and linear stability calculations are performed to compute the location on the flat plate where the factor representing the integration of growth rates reaches nine. These calculations are repeated for several combinations of flow parameters and the theoretically predicted transition location is presented in the form of a correlation that can account for the effect of wall suction, heat transfer, and Mach number.
