    This document presents the table of contents for a thesis on developing and validating a k-γ transition model. The thesis includes chapters on literature review of transition prediction methods, description of the flow solver, formulation of the k-γ model, validation of the model on several test cases, applications to additional airfoils and wings, and conclusions. Validation cases include flat plate boundary layers, airfoils, and a wing. The k-γ model is derived from transport equations for turbulent kinetic energy (k) and the transition-sensitive variable (γ).
