A tubular centrifugal fin is designed by using various methods of analysis and design. A preliminary design method based on empirical optimum curves for centrifugal fin is used to determine the geometric parameters for tubular centrifugal fan.

This work developed improved slip factor model and correction method to predict flow through impeller in forward-curved centrifugal fan. Both steady and unsteady three-dimensional CFD analyses were performed to validate the slip factor model and the correction method. The results show that the improved slip factor model presented in this paper could provide more accurate predictions for forward-curved centrifugal impeller than the other slip factor models since the present model takes into account the effect of blade curvature. The correction method is provided to predict mass-averaged absolute circumferential velocity at the exit of impeller by taking account of blockage effects induced by the large-scale backflow near the front plate and flow separation within blade passage. The comparison with CFD results also shows that the improved slip factor model coupled with the present correction method provides accurate predictions for mass-averaged absolute circumferential velocity at the exit of impeller near and above the flow rate of peak total pressure coefficient.

The unsteady-state, incompressible and three-dimensional large-eddy simulation(LES) was carried out to evaluate the vorticity distribution of a small-size axial fan(SSAF). The X-component vorticity profiles developed around blade tips turn from axial to radial, and diminish the density of distribution according to the increase of static pressure. Otherwise, the Z-component vorticity profiles evenly develop at the region larger than the half radial distance of blade at the operating points of A and B, partly at the trailing-edge region of blade and radially over bellmouth according to the increase of static pressure.

In the present study, CFD methods are applied in the design procedure of rotor blades in a axial-flow fan and the aerodynamic performances are predicted. The blade profiles initially determined by the free vortex method and empirical formula are modified to match the target value of the rotor work load through the analysis of 3D Navier-Stokes solver. The corrected shapes of the rotor blade showed the increase of the efficiency and the pressure simultaneously.

A method of optimization design for the blade profile of a centrifugal impeller by controlling velocity distribution is presented, and a plenum fan is successfully designed. This method is based on the inner flow calculation inside the centrifugal impeller, and is related to the distribution of relative velocity. The results show that after optimization, the boundary layer separation on the suction surface has been inhibited and the stability of plenum fan is improved. The flow at the impeller outlet is also studied, and the jet-wake pattern at the impeller outlet is improved obviously by optimization. The calculation result shows that the static pressure and static pressure efficiency can be increased by 15.4% and 21.4% respectively.

원심팬 날개 깃에서 발생한 와류와 원심팬 볼루트 사이의 상호작용은 원심팬의 주요한 소음원으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 저소음 설계의 기초 자료로 활용하기 위하여 원심팬의 주요한 소음원 영역으로 고려되는 원심팬 볼루트 영역을 세분화하여 볼루트 영역내의 상대적 기여도를 분석한다. 주요한 소음원으로부터 방사되는 소음을 예측하기 위해 내부 음장용 복합 전산공력음향학(CAA, Computational Aero-Acoustics) 방법을 사용한다. 이 방법은 전산유체역학(CFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics)과 음향상사법(Acoustic Analogy), 그리고 경계요소법(BEM, Boundary Element Method)을 사용하여 원심팬 내부 유동장으로부터 방사한 소음을 원심팬 외부 음향장에서 예측하는 방법이다. 복합 CAA 방법을 이용한 원심팬 볼루트 영역내의 소음원의 상대적 기여도 분석은 컷-오프영역으로부터 출구영역보다 컷-오프영역으로부터 원심팬 스크롤영역이 전체 소음에 대한 기여도가 높고, 날개 깃의 쉬라우드 영역보다 허브 영역이 전체 소음에 대한 기여도가 높다는 것을 보여준다. 이러한 결과는 향후 저소음 원심팬 개발을 위한 유용한 자료로 활용될 것이다.

본 연구에서는 생활폐기물 관로이송 설비에 사용되고 있는 원심송풍기의 성능향상을 위해 임펠러날개 압력면과 부압면 측에 스플리터를 각각 설치하고, 스플리터의 코드길이 변화에 따른 성능특성을 삼차원 나비어-스톡스 방정식을 이용한 수치해석으로 분석하였다. 수치해석을 통한 기초연구를 바탕으로 날개 부압면측에서 발생하는 역류현상을 억제할 수 있는 스플리터의 익간설치를 고려하였으며, 주요설계 변수로는 코드길이를 설정하였다. 이를 통해 날개 부압면 측에 설치한 스플리터의 코드길이가 길어질수록 원심송풍기 압력 및 효율특성이 설계유량 조건 뿐만 아니라 유량증가에 따라 향상됨을 알수 있었다. 설계유량 조건에서 스플리터 부착 원심송풍기에 의해 효율 및 압력은 기존대비 각각 4% 및 18% 향상되었다.

The cross-flow fan which constitutes a fan-duct system with a stabilizer and a scroll casing is widely used in many air-ventilating and air-conditioning devices. Its ooperating points of high efficiency and loading conditions frequently induce a annoying sharp tonal component of discrete frequency on the noise spectrum, which is open called as a BPF(Blade-Passing-Frequency) noise and degrades the sound quality of the devices. this BPF tone has been one of the defects of the cross-flow fan. This study proposes two methods in order to reduce this tonal noise component, which are the random distributions of the fan blades and the skewed shapes of the stabilizer. The proposed methods are verified by a simple analytical model and are applied in manufacturing the cross-flow fan and the stabilizer samples. Some experiments are carried out to verify the reduction capability of BPF tones of above two schemes and the experimental results are analyzed. The comparison between two method is also carried out.

Contra-rotating fan is comprised of two rotors which are rotating in the opposite direction. The fan stages are named rotor-1 and rotor-2. Benefits from the use of contra rotation are in terms of better efficiency and improved thrust to weight ratio. Failure of contra-rotating fan stage blade in-service results in safety risks, repair costs, and revenue losses. This paper focuses on the vibration analysis and one way fluid-structure interaction of high aspect ratio, low speed contrarotating fan rotors. Modal analysis and modal pre-stress analysis of contra-rotating fan rotors were carried out to calculate the natural frequencies, One way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) was carried out where the computational analysis of the blades was performed using ANSYS CFX. The boundary conditions for CFD analysis were considered from the actual experimental velocity flow field at the inlet and pressure outlet. Based on the results obtained from the CFD analysis, the structural analysis such as deformation and Von-Misses stresses was carried out by using the finite element method (FEM) with ANSYS. The results provide necessary guidelines for the safe running of the contra-rotating fan. The analysis also will be helpful to understand the change of flow behavior due to a rotor deformation.

The unsteady flow characteristics and associated blade tonal noise of a cross-flow fan are predicted by computational methods. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are time-accurately solved for obtaining the pressure fluctuations between the rotating blades and the stabilizer. and the sound pressure is predicted using Curie's equation. The discrete noise characteristics of three impellers with a uniform and two random pitch (type-A and -B) blades are compared by their SPL (Sound Pressure Level) spectra. and the frequency modulation characteristics of the BPF (Blade Passing Frequency) noise are discussed. Besides. a mathematical model is proposed for the prediction of discrete blade tonal noise and is validated with available experimental data. The fan performance is also compared with experimental data. indicating that the random pitch effect does not significantly alter the performance characteristics at ${\phi}$ 〉 0.4
