Rotor-only ducted axial fans with small hub-to-tip diameter ratio are widely used in many
branches of industry, especially for cooling and ventilation purposes. For such fans …

The majority of power stations in South Africa are located in coal rich, but arid regions where
wet-cooled condenser systems are not feasible from an environmental and economic …

This work deals with the application of the open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
code MULTALL to the analysis of tube-axial fans. The code has been widely validated in the …

The controlled vortex design is a common criterion to distribute circulation along the blade
span for high total pressure axial fan rotors when diameter and/or rotational speed …

Both cascade and isolated airfoil methods are considered valid in axial fan blade design, for
high (σ≳ 1) and low (σ≲ 0.7) solidities respectively. For bladings that feature intermediate …

The cooling effectiveness of air-cooled steam condenser units is impacted by the
performance of the large diameter axial flow cooling fans, which ultimately affects the overall …

NACA 65-series airfoilsfeature a cusped trailing edge impractical for mass-production
manufacturing processes. The effects of two different trailing edge modifications on NACA …

The flow path close to the suction side of fan rotor blades mostly affects the overall drag of
the blading. The blade lift is affected as well because of the separation of the low energy …

Some methodological differences exist among the design methods for axial-flow fans. These
differences generate confusion in the mind of the unexperienced fan designer, who is …

Rotor-only low-pressure axial fans with small hub-to-tip diameter ratio (HTR in short) are
widely used in many branches of industry, especially for cooling and ventilation purposes …
