Unsteady Flow Field Analysis of a PC Cooling Fan Used in Narrow Space

It is quite usual that the small axial flow fan used for PCs is installed in narrow space. In such a case the fan performance and flow field are supposed to be different from those of design conditions. In addition, influences that obstacles upstream and downstream of the fan give to the fan perform...

Zusammenfassung:It is quite usual that the small axial flow fan used for PCs is installed in narrow space. In such a case the fan performance and flow field are supposed to be different from those of design conditions. In addition, influences that obstacles upstream and downstream of the fan give to the fan performance are not well understood. In this study, we measure the flow field and performance of a PC cooling fan used under realistic conditions. Furthermore, we compare calculated results with the experimental results.
