Abstract: Ducted rotor-only low-pressure axial fans play an integral role in automotive thermal management. The tightly packed under-hood region and down-stream heat-exchanger shape limit the fan diameter. In order to circumvent ...

Abstract: An existing computer code for solving the quasionedimensional (Q1D) flow equations governing unsteady compressible flow in tubes with smoothly varying cross section areas has been adapted to the simulation of the oscillatory ...

Abstract: Ducted rotor-only low-pressure axial (LPA) fans play an integral role in automotive thermal management of electric vehicles and are the primary source of noise from the underhood region. Multiple LPA fans are often placed ...

Abstract: In this paper, the impact of manufacturing variations on performance of an axial compressor rotor is evaluated at design rotational speed. The geometric variations from the design intent obtained from measurements were ...

Abstract: The boundary layer ingestion (BLI) concept has emerged as a novel technology for reducing aircraft fuel consumption. Several studies designed BLI-fans for aircraft. BLI-propellers, although, have still received little ...
