Axial fans are widely used in household electrical appliances due to their easy usage and high flow rate for cooling capacity. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of serious problems. In order to calculate the noise of a fan, we develop the software IFD - Intranet Fans Design. With this software we can design, analysis the performance and predict the noise of fan. The prediction model, which allowed the calculation of acoustic pressure at the blade passing frequency and it's higher harmonic frequencies, has been developed by Lowson's equation. To calculate the unsteady resultant force of the blade, time-marching free-wake method is used. The objective of this study is to calculate the effects of number of blades, rotating velocity, and sweep angle on the noise of fan..

Axial fans are widely used in heavy machines due to their ability to produce high flow rate for cooling of engines. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of the most serious problems. This work is concerned with the low noise technique of discrete frequency noise. The prediction model, which allowed the calculation of acoustic pressure at the blade passing frequency and it's harmonics, has been developed by Farrasat. This theory is founded upon the acoustic radiation of unsteady forces acting on blade. To calculate the unsteady resultant force over the fan blade. Time-Marching Free-Wake Method are used. The ideas of low noise technique are obtained from Blade-Momentum Methods. In this paper, the discussion is confined to the performance and discrete noise of axial fan in heavy equipments.

One of the devices to prevent separated flow over a wing or a flap at high angle of attack is a vortex generator. In the present work, we numerically study the flow around a low-profile or micro vortex generator whose height is less than local boundary layer thickness which can delay separation with a minimum drag penalty owing to its very small wetted surface area. As a first step toward a parametric study to efficiently design this MVG flow control system, we simulate the flow around a single MVG on a flat plate. For the simulation, we employ OpenFOAM with Launder-Sharma ${\kappa}$-epsilon model. The analysis results are validated by comparing with experimental results of a rectangular MVG at an angle of attack of 10 degrees whose height is 20% of local boundary layer. Important results and aspects of this numerical study are discussed. We also simulate the flow around rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal MVGs and the results are compared

For study on the unsteady wall interference effect, flows around a forced oscillating airfoil in closed test-section wind tunnels have been numerically investigated by solving compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a node-based finite-volume method with the Roe's flux-difference splitting and an implicit time-integration method coupled with dual time-step sub-iteration. The Spalart-Allmaras one-equation model is employed for the turbulence effect. The computed results of the oscillating airfoil having a thin wake showed that the lift curve slope is increased and the magnitude of hysteresis loop is reduced by the interference effects. Since the vortex around the airfoil is generated and convected downstream faster than the free-air condition, the phase of lift, drag and pitching moment coefficients was shifted. The pressure on the test section wall shows harmonic terms having the oscillating frequency contained in the wail effect.

Animation technique from the PIV database is particularly emphasized to give macroscopic and quantitative description of complex flow fields. This paper shows animation construction and application example for the post-processing of PIV data. As examples, first case is a pitching airfoil immersed in tree surface water circulating tunnel. Second case is a wake of a model-ship. Third case of PIV data is a large scale surface flow field. Obtained images are processed in time sequence by PIV exclusive routines where an efficient and reliable cross correlation algorithm is included for vector identification. All. animation Jobs are implemented completely on single personal computer environment. Compressed digital images are obtained initially by Motion-JPEG board and various An files are finally obtained through graphic processes.

An oscillating foil can produce a driving force through the generation of a reversed $K\'{a}rm\'{a}n$ vortex street, and it can be expected to be a new highly effective propulsion system. A simple pitching foil model was made and it was operated within a water channel. The wake formation behind a pitching foil was visualized and unsteady fluid forces were measured using a 6-axis force sensor based on force and moment detectors. We have been examined various conditions such as reduced frequency, amplitude and pivot point in NACA 0010. The results showed that thrust coefficients increased with a reduced frequency. We also presented the experimental results on the characteristics of a pitching foil at various parameters.

This paper describes a helicopter vibration induced by main rotor in forward flight. The hub loads in the fixed frame, which are dominant source of helicopter vibration, are obtained by multi-blade summation of rotating blades loadings. The components of 3/rev, 4/rev, and 5/rev blades loadings are transmitted by blades to 4/rev hub loads in the fixed frame. The vertical vibrations of helicopter at pilot seat and copilot seat are calculated through rigid body transfer functions considering airframe to be rigid body. The blades are assumed to be elastic and undergo the flap, lag, and torsion motion and free wake aerodynamic model is used to calculate the precise blade loadings in the analysis. The 4/rev vertical vibration responses are analyzed from rotating blade loadings and fixed hub loadings.

Numerical calculation of the flow field past a passenger car was carried out by using a panel method with a small computer of 5Mbyte memory size. The shape of car body was simplified and reconstructed by 2180 panels on which a constant strength sink (or source) was distributed. The separation of flow from the surface and the wake flow were not considered in the calculation because of the computer memory limitation. All of the results of calculation were presented by using a 3-dimensional computer graphics. In spite of small memory size of computer, generally good agreements were obtained, except the separated region, from the comparison of pressure distribution between numerical analysis and wind tunnel experiment with 1/5 scaled model.

Numerical and experimental studies are performed to investigate the effect of the underbody shape of the simplified road vehicle on drag and life. Four different vehicle models with front and rear slanted variations at the lower surface are used in this study. Cases with a slanted underbody surface at front have smaller drag than those without a slanted surface. Also, cases with a slanted underbody surface at rear have smaller lift than those without a slanted surface. Pressure distributions along the model surfaces and velocity fields at the wake region are examined in detail. In general, numerical solutions are in agreement with experimental results.
