Firstly, the empirical correlation functions involved in the Y-Reo transition model are modified and calibrated with experimental data of turbulent flat plates. Then, the grid convergence is studied on NLR-7301 two-element airfoil with the modified empirical correlation. At last, the modified empirical correlation is validated with NLR-7301 two-element airfoil and high-lift trapezoidal wing from transition location, velocity pro- file in boundary layer, surface pressure coefficient and aerodynamic characteristics. The numerical results illustrate that the numerical accuracy of transition length and skin friction behind transition location are improved with modified empirical correlation function, and obviously increases the numerical accuracy of aerodynamic characteristics prediction for typical transport configurations in low-speed range.展开更多
