Aerodynamic performance of blade tip end-plates designed for low-noise operation in axial flow fans / Alessandro Corsini in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering, Vol. 131 N° 8 (Août 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of fluids engineering > Vol. 131 N° 8 (Août 2009) . - 13 p. Titre : Aerodynamic performance of blade tip end-plates designed for low-noise operation in axial flow fans Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alessandro Corsini, Auteur ; Anthony G. Sheard, Auteur ; Franco Rispoli, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : 13 p. Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : blade-tip;  passive  noise  control;  axial  flow  fan Résumé : This study assesses the effectiveness of modified blade-tip configurations in achieving passive noise control in industrial fans. The concepts developed here, which are based on the addition of end-plates at the fan-blade tip, are shown to have a beneficial effect on the fan aeroacoustic signature as a result of the changes they induce in tip-leakage-flow behavior. The aerodynamic merits of the proposed blade-tip concepts are investigated by experimental and computational studies in a fully ducted configuration. The flow mechanisms in the blade-tip region are correlated with the specific end-plate design features, and their role in the creation of overall acoustic emissions is clarified. The tip-leakage flows of the fans are analyzed in terms of vortex structure, chordwise leakage flow, and loading distribution. Rotor losses are also investigated. The modifications to blade-tip geometry are found to have marked effects on the multiple vortex behaviors of leakage flow as a result of changes in the near-wall fluid flow paths on both blade surfaces. The improvements in rotor efficiency are assessed and correlated with the control of tip-leakage flows produced by the modified tip end-plates.

Stall warning in a low-speed axial fan by visualization of sound signals / Anthony G. Sheard in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power, Vol. 133 N° 4 (Avril 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of engineering for gas turbines and power > Vol. 133 N° 4 (Avril 2011) . - 10 p. Titre : Stall warning in a low-speed axial fan by visualization of sound signals Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Anthony G.

Note générale : Génie Mécanique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aerodynamics  Failure  (mechanical)  Fans  Flow  visualisation  Risk  analysis  Waveform  analysis Index. décimale : 620.1 Essais des matériaux. Défauts des matériaux. Protection des matériaux Résumé : This study describes the development of a novel stall-detection methodology for low-speed axial-flow fans. Because aerodynamic stall is a major potential cause of mechanical failure in axial fans, effective stall-detection techniques have had wide application for many years. However, aerodynamic stall does not always result in mechanical failure. A subsonic fan can sometimes operate at low speeds in an aerodynamically stalled condition without incurring mechanical failure. To differentiate between aerodynamic stall conditions that constitute a mechanical risk and those that do not, the stall-detection methodology in the present study utilizes a symmetrized dot pattern (SDP) technique that is capable of differentiating between stall conditions. This paper describes a stall-detections criterion based on a SDP visual waveform analysis and develops a stall-warning methodology based on that analysis. This study presents an analysis of measured acoustic and structural data across nine aerodynamic operating conditions represented in a 3×3 matrix. The matrix is a combination of (i) three speeds (full-, half-, and quarter-speed) and (ii) three operational states (stable operation, incipient stall, and rotating stall). The matrix of SDPs and structural data are used to differentiate critical stall conditions (those that will lead to mechanical failure of the fan) from noncritical ones (those that will not result in mechanical failure), thus providing a basis for an intelligent stall-warning methodology.
