The airfoil commonly employed in wind turbines is modified by attaching a Gurney flap with length of 2% chord at its trailing edge and its remodeled form as well,but it showed special aerodynamic characteristics.The software FLUENT are respectively used to carry out numerical computation of aerodynamic performances of above-mentioned three airfoils, so that their aerodynamic characteristics, surface pressure distribution, and streamline around them are obtained for different angles of attack. It is shown by the computation result that the modified airfoils will result in such a strong downwash effect and the pressure distribution on airfoil surface is remarkably altered, the lift coefficient, and meantime the airfoil stalling is greatly postponed,but the airfoil of Gurney flap shown the characteristics of opposite.
