Abstract

Based on sliding mesh technology, a three-dimensional numerical simulation model of cooling fan is established to investigate the aerodynamic and acoustic performances. The reliability and accuracy of the simulation model are verified by the experimental results. By analysing the aerodynamic performance of the prototype cooling fan, three improvement schemes are proposed in this study, include designing the blade with unequal spacing and adding some flow deflectors on the blades. The flow field and aerodynamic noise of the cooling fan between the prototype and optimized fans are compared by using the validated CFD method. The results show that the noise of the cooling fan can be significantly reduced under the premise of sufficient air flow. Finally, an optimized scheme is proposed for the studied cooling fan.
