Abstract: Near-wall modeling is one of the most challenging aspects of computational fluid dynamic computations. In fact, integration-to-the-wall with low-Reynolds approach strongly affects accuracy of results, but strongly increases ...

Abstract: Taking a lead from the humpback whale flukes, characterized by a series of bumps that result in a sinusoidallike leading edge, this paper reports on a threedimensional numerical study of sinusoidal leading edges on cambered ...

Abstract: This review aims to assist engineers in understanding and applying passive solutions for reducing industrial fan noise. The paper systematically reviews the extant literature on passive noise techniques, with a particular ...

Abstract: Data-driven tools and techniques have proved their effectiveness in many engineering applications. Machine-learning has gradually become a paradigm to explore innovative designs in turbomachinery. However, industrial ...

Abstract: Fans used in tunnel ventilation operate for decades in an atmosphere that carries dust, soot, and other solid particles. The formation of deposit on the rotor blades, considering a so long time of exposition to this ...

Abstract: Reversible axial fans are widely used in industrial and tunnel ventilation systems, and a lot of research effort is spent in the design process of the blades shape and blades profile. The target is to achieve reasonable ...

Abstract: This article reports on numerical investigations of passive control techniques used for the performance enhancement of a large diameter axial flow cooling fan through modification of the blade tip geometry. Using open-source ...

Abstract: Induced draft fans extract coalfired boiler exhaust gases in the form of a twophase flow with a dispersed solid phase made of unburnt coal and fly ash; consequently fan blades are subject to erosion causing material wear ...

Abstract: The concept of morphing geometry to control and stabilize the flow has been proposed and applied in several aeronautic and wind turbine applications. We studied the effect of a similar passive system applied on an axial ...

Abstract: Erosion issues usually affect fans used for the extraction of exhaust gas in power plants. Because of the presence of fly ash within the exhaust flow, fan blades are subjected to material wear at the leading edge, trailing ...
