SummaryThe objective of this paper is to give a survey of the tools which are currently available for transition pr",diction. The simplest methods (analytical criteria, data base methods) are first presented. Emphasis is then given on techniques based on the linear stability theory (local and PSE approaches). When non linear mechanisms need to be accounted for, it becomes necessary to use more complex methods such as non linear PSE or DNS. Typical examples of applications are presented for each of these methods.
