In this paper, a numerical simulation on the wind turbine S825 airfoil is con- ducted with k-to turbulence model at different attack angles. By comparing with experimental data, a new method of modifying k-to model is proposed. A modifying function is proposed to limit the production term in ω equation based on fluid rotation and deformation. This method improves turbulent viscosity and decreases separating re- gion when the airfoil works at large separating conditions. The predictive accuracy could be improved by using the modified k-to turbulence model.展开更多
