Problems calculating thrust load -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

April 9, 2013, 04:14	Problems calculating thrust load	#1
Lancester New Member Join Date: Jun 2012 Posts: 10 Rep Power: 13	Hello @all! I have a problom during my cfd-simulation of a radial fan! I will calculate the thrust load of the fan, but I didn't know the correct solution. First, I calculate in CFD-Post all forces of the fan walls. Is this the right thrust load?, or should I also consider the momentum of the redirection? So I would calculate the momentum force: Velocity^2sectionDensity. Or is this force already in my wall forces? Can someone help me? Thank you in advance, Lancester
