NUMERICAL SIMULATON OF AXIAL FLOW FAN USING GAMBIT AND FLUENT

Srinivas G, Srinivasa Rao Potti

Abstract: The main objective of this paper consists of the computation of the aerodynamic performances of symmetrical blade contours of fully reversible axial fans by Numerical (CFD) methods, developing by a public literature survey, methodology for the design of reversible axial fans and analysis of the designed fan with CFD methods. The aerodynamic shows of the blade cascades are evaluated using FLUENT 6.0 software for different boundary conditions, strengths and angles called Angle of Attack(AoA) cascade also performing for varying speeds. The consequences of these computations are embedded into the industrialized methodology. Which is designed with the developed methodology, is done with Numerical methods
