Transonic flow around the 3D Onera M6 wing at an angle of attack of 3.06°

Introduction
The scope of this tutorials is to test the capability of the solver rhoSimpleFoam in combination with the OpenFOAM native mesher snappyHexMesh to simulate 3D transonic flows over wings. For this purpose we take as test case the Onera M6 wing listed in the NASA turbulence model resource home page https://turbmodels.larc.nasa.gov/index.html. The home page provides a list of test cases to validate turbulence models for compressible and incompressible flows. The flow around the Onera M6 wing is taken as one of the standard test cases to validate compressible flow solvers (see, e.g. [1],[2],[4]).
