This paper conducts two-dimensional numerical flow simulations around an improved Ishii airfoil under low Reynolds number flow conditions. The improved Ishii airfoil is proposed in previous efforts and demonstrated better aerodynamic performance in comparison with those of an original Ishii airfoil. At first, numerical results in the cases of angles of attack ranging from -6 degrees to 9 degrees and a chord-based Reynolds number of 20,000 are compared with the experimental data. Results show a fair agreement with the experimental data. Then, Reynolds number effects are studied for the angles of attack at 3 degrees and 6 degrees, respectively. Numerical results present similar trend to that observed in the experiments. Furthermore, it seems that the change of Reynolds number has certain impact on the aerodynamic coefficients when the laminar separation bubble is not observed over the airfoil.
