Abstract

Two-dimensional numerical simulation of airfoil S825 with Spalart-Allmaras(SA) turbulent model was presented. The simulation results were compared with the experiment results. As SA turbulent model could not simulate the flow separation accurately at the rear region of the airfoil, the strongly non-equilibrium turbulence transport nature in the separate region was analyzed. The non-equilibrium turbulence transport nature was closely related to the constant Cb1 in SA model. A method of modifying the constant Cb1 was adopted in SA model, and the simulation results show that the method simulates the flow separation more accurately.
