Computational study on flows by propeller fans with different blades

프로펠러형 팬의 날개형상에 따른 전산 해석적 연구

Design and developments of a propeller fan for a cooling tower have been accomplished by both numerical prediction of performance and experimental validation with a wind tunnel, Main interest lies on blade geometry of a fan for optimal design of aerodynamic performance. The present methodology for numerical estimation is commercial program, Fine/Turbo, which gives us engineering information such as flow details near the blades and flow rate of it. The numerical results are compared with precise experimental output and show good agreement. Also new proposed model of a blade with the program show improved performance relative to present running model in market.
