Research results about improving the aerodynamic performance of wind turbine airfoils at high angles of attack with parallel flats are presented.Numerical simulation of the wind turbine blade aerodynamic characteristics is carried out to study the separation flow control using parallel flats.Based on the numerical simulation results,the parameters of parallel flats are optimized by genetic algorithm(GA).In the optimization,the multi-island GA is employed and the N-S equations are adopted to acquire the aerodynamics functions of the airfoil.Optimization results indicate that the parallel flats can control the stall characteristics effectively,restraining the flow separation at high angle attack,delaying the stall and enhancing the lift force.The GA optimization can improve the effect of flow control using parallel flats obviously.
