Numerical and Experimental Study of Cooling Fan Noise

Abstract:

Abstract. This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the noise of marine application pump axial flow fan. Axial flow fan is verified by both geometrical and experimental approaches. This section includes grid system used in geometric simulation, and boundary conditions. In order to know the complicate and complex physical features of an axial flow fan, a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, FLUENT, is utilized to perform the flow field analysis, which solves the Navier–Stokes equation using an amorphous finite volume-method. As a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, FLUENT has been extensively used in many turbo machinery applications. In this paper the noise predicted according to geometrical results will be compare with investigational results.
