where:
- is the density.
- is the mean velocity vector.
- is the dynamic viscosity.
- is the turbulent eddy viscosity.
- is a Model Coefficient.
- is the Production Term.

For details on how enters the turbulence transport equations, see Coupling with SST (Menter) K-Omega Model and Coupling with Spalart-Allmaras Model.
Production Term
The transition production term is defined as:
