For controlling the flow separation on the wing at high angle of attack, an innovative technique for a finites-span wing stall control, flow deflector, is studied in the present paper. Wind tunnel experiments are conducted to validate the reliability of the numerical simulation. The comparison between them indicates i that the flow deflector can control the stall of a wing and restrain the flow separation effectively at high angle of attack. Deep research of flow direction changing trend and boundary layer are carried out to investigate the mechanism of flow deflector. The results indicate that the flow deflector increase the angle of flow around the leading edge of the wing and decrease the angle of the coming flow to make it deflect to the upside of the wing. The flow deflector can suppress the three dimensional effects and maintain the two-dimensional flow characteristics to some extent. Furthermore, the flow deflector can easily change the velocity profile in the boundary layer and make it more "fuller". It decreases the shape factor and increases the stability of the boundary layer to restrain the flow separation.
