Conventional buffet onset methods for a 2D supercritical airfoil, SC0410, in transonic regime for various Mach number and various angles of attack have been surveyed. The existing methods give good results for high subsonic and transonic regimes, but demand a computational procedure to detect the buffet onset. One of these methods, trailing edge pressure divergence, that have been recognized inappropriate in other studies for supercritical airfoils, shows acceptable result at least for the present supercritical airfoil. A new method has been proposed by the authors for transonic regime that is based on the physical definition of the buffet onset from the surface pressure distribution diagram. This method does not require any special calculations. The data scrutiny shows good agreement by this method in comparison with the conventional schemes.
