COPS is a code for the state-of-the-art analysis of transition in flows over aerodynamic bodies such as swept wings, nacelles, or turbine blades. The code is a full implementation of the compressible nonlinear PSE in general curvilinear coordinates, with interfaces to Navier-Stokes codes and two- and three- dimensional boundary-layer codes. Initial data representative of the disturbance environment in flight, wind tunnels, or gas turbines are selected with the aid of an automated local stability synopsis. COPS then tracks besides N factors - the transition process downstream, predicting the changes in the skin friction and heat transfer. A Graphical User Interface provides ease of use, and post-processing capabilities help interpret and visualize the results.
