Implementation of Roughness Amplification Factor Transition Model for SST

[marcosch27]

Proposed Changes

Hello everyone,

This PR is one of two contributions resulting from my Master’s Thesis.

In this PR, I’ve added a new roughness-induced transition model through a roughness amplification factor transport (AFT), based on the approach described in this paper by Langel et al.

The attached PDF includes documentation as well as validation results for the NACA0012 transitional test case with roughness strips. Further validation test cases have been performed and are reported in my Master's Thesis, which will be available in the following months. If needed, I can add a validation test case to the SU2 suite.

Please let me know if any modifications are needed.

Thanks for the contribution! So what does the result look like if we do not use this extension?
If you feel generous, please also consider adding some info to the theory section. Many of these models are not visible to the casual user.

A testcase for these features would be very beneficial also!
