Abstract: | Many factors such as outer diameter, hub ratio, blade numbers, shape and stagger angle affect the performance of small cooling
fans. A small cooling fan was simulated using CFD software for three blade stagger angles (30.5°, 37.5°, 44.5°)and obtained
the internal flow field and the static characteristics. Research indicated that the stagger angle has an obvious effect on
the static characteristics of a fan. For flow rates below 0.0104 m3/s, total pressure is the greatest when the stagger angle is 37.5°; flow rates higher than 0.0104 m3/s, the total pressure is greatest when the stagger angle is 44.5° For the same flow rates, the velocity at inlet of pressure
surface increases with increasing stagger angle, but the change of velocity on the suction surface is very small. For one
model, vortices and the speed of revolution surfaces decrease with tip clearance increasing. But for other three models, increasing
the stagger angle, the vortex intensity and speed of revolution surfaces at same height tip clearance increases, simultaneously,
the position of vortex offset from the top of the rotor blade to the suction surface. |
