Description
Description
This project simulates steady airflow in a 3D axial flow fan stage using ANSYS Fluent software. We perform this CFD project and investigate it by CFD analysis.
The present model is designed in 3-D using the Design modeler. The model consists of a rotating zone and a stationary zone.
The meshing of this present model has been generated by ANSYS Meshing software. The total cell number is 244675.
Fan Stage Methodology
In this project, steady airflow in a 3D geometry of the fan stage is simulated by ANSYS Fluent software.
A fan stage is a common apparatus used for creating steady airflow in industrial applications used in the cooling process of newly painted body parts. The periodic boundary condition simulates the real fan stage at the lowest computational cost.
Two sections are involved Rotor and Stator. The rotor, which has a built-in blade, rotates with constant angular velocity and leads air to enter the stator region with high velocity. Blade within stator alters the flow direction to force it exit stator approximately normal to outlet surface.
Rotor domain rotation is simulated using the MRF module with an angular velocity equal to 1800rpm. The stator domain is fixed.
Moreover, the standard k-epsilon model is used to solve the turbulent fluid flow equations.
Fan Stage Conclusion
After the simulation, two- and three-dimensional results related to pressure, velocity, streamlines, and velocity vectors are obtained. For instance, as seen in streamlines and velocity vectors results, the rotating motion of the fluid due to the rotation of the rotor domain is clear.
Furthermore, based on the data calculated using Fluent, the rotor’s angular velocity of 1800 rad/s results in linear velocity of the max diameter of the rotor equal to 31 m/s.
TSR (Tip Speed Ratio), which is the ratio of angular velocity (=32m/s) to free stream flow velocity in the stator (=8m/s), is equal to 4. The airflow rate at the stator outlet is equal to 16.14 lit/s.

Carlee Kuhn –
This training project seems excellent for understanding fan stages. Can you elaborate on the significance of the TSR (Tip Speed Ratio) and its practical applications in industry?
MR CFD Support –
The Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) is a critical dimensionless parameter that describes the efficiency of a fan, wind turbine, or compressor’s blade design. It is the ratio of the speed of the blade at its tip to the speed of the airflow it’s encountering. In practical applications, a well-chosen TSR for a fan or turbine ensures optimal energy extraction from the air, maximizing performance while minimizing undesired effects such as noise and wear. The TSR in industrial situations is geared towards improving performance efficiencies, maintainability, and lifespan of the device.

Larry Thiel III –
Is the TSR value of 4 within typical ranges for fan stages? What implications might this have on performance?
MR CFD Support –
In the simulation of the axial flow fan stage, the Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) was found to be 4. Typically, TSR values can vary widely depending on the specific design and application of the fan. A TSR of 4 suggests that the rotor’s tip is moving faster than the incoming airflow. This may imply that the fan is efficient in accelerating the air and could be indicative of good performance. However, without comparing this value to those typical for similar fan stage designs, it is challenging to make definitive statements. Ideal TSR values also differ based on the fan’s application and desired outcomes, such as noise reduction, energy efficiency, or maximum airflow.
Carlo O’Conner –
The fan stage simulation looks very comprehensive. I learned a lot from the methodology! Could we simulate different rotational speeds for the rotor, to see the effect on the efficiency of the fan?
