long-eared owl wing with silent flight characteristics is fitted to establish a three-dimensional bionic blade model. The flow over the bionic blade is simulated numerically with large-eddy simulation(LES)method. The flow structures at different angles of attack(AoA)are investigated to reveal the flow control mechanisms of bionic blade when Reynolds number gets 16 000 and 70 000 respectively. The numerical results show that the bionic blade based on the long-eared owl wing possesses excellent lift characteristics at two different Reynolds numbers. When Reynolds number is 70 000
the maximum lift coefficient of the bionic blade is 1.26 but with a larger stall angle. The important impact factor for the lift coefficient of the bionic blade is the bending structure near the leading edge from the blade root. Because of the influence of adverse pressure gradient
the airflow cannot be kept adhering to the blade surface and the boundary layer starts to separate gradually with decreasing of the angle of attack. The irregular vortex structures generated from the downstream of bionic blade lead to a deterioration of flow status over the bionic blade
which is also the reason of the vortex noise from bionic blade.
