Fan Design Optimization for Flow and Noise |
Udawant Kishor - AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH ASSOCIATION OF INDIA |
Abstract |
The latest requirements for automotive cabin comfort require lower sound levels inside the cabin. There are many sources contributing to this noise of which fan is an important one. The blade passage noise of the cooling fan is often unpleasant and it is generally expensive to build and test different prototypes for optimum noise performance. A steady state computational technique is used to predict the fan flow and noise performance which provides for effective design study with optimum resources. Fan design is optimized using ANSYS FLUENT for reduced noise and increased flow. |
