Fluent setup to determine fan performance

Hi, my problem is to use fluent to determine a fan charateristic curve (flow rate vs static pressure) for a specific fan (exhuast fan). I have used GAMBIT to create a 1/6th section of the fan, which comprises one blade of the fan... I want to use the unsteady solver/moving mesh options in FLUENT... I also plan to use grid-interfaces between fluid volumes (fan to duct, etc)... how would I set up the problem and boundary conditions to solve for a number of flow rates and determine the static pressure rise in each case.

Hi srinivasan, that sounds exactly what I want to do, any pointers??
Moke, how much have you looked into this problem?? Maybe we can offer each other the solution. |

Fan curve problem

Hi I am quite new to CFD i am trying to find out the fan curve what did uptill now I made inlet duct 15 times of fan dia with pressure inlet (0.0 Pa), outlet duct 30 times of fan dia with pressure outlet (0.0 Pa) and I am giving fixed rpm to the rotating region in between. I am measuring pressure in inlet and outlet duct at a position 10 times of fan dia. but Still I didnt find the relevant pressure difference across the fan and also the solution is not converges
I would be very grateful if you people help me out |
