The contribution deals with the numerical simulation of 2D transonic flow through a mid-span turbine blade cascade for several Mach numbers by means of the EARSM turbulence model of Hellsten [1] connected with the algebraic bypass transition model of Straka and Příhoda [2]. Both models are implemented into an in-house numerical code based on the finite volume method. The γ transition model of Menter et al. [3] with SST turbulence model accessible in the commercial code ANSYS Fluent was used for the comparison.
