Analysis and Evaluation of Wind Turbine Flow Field and Noise Simulation Based on CFD Software

Abstract:

CFD is the abbreviation of the computational fluid dynamics, which is widely used in engineering fluid simulation. Based on two-dimensional N-S equation and k-e turbulence model, this paper uses FLUENT software, finite volume method and SIMPLEC algorithm to do numerical simulation and analysis on flow field in centrifugal fan. In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of calculation, this paper uses AutoCAD to establish the two-dimensional model of fan, and uses the structured triangular mesh to divide grid. Encrypting the blade can improve the precision and also save the computer memory. Through the calculation we get the internal flow field velocity and pressure distribution in the wind turbine, and get the power level cloud of internal noise in fan. It provides the technical reference for the optimization design of wind turbine.
