Experimental Study of the Leakage Flow in an Axial-Flow Fan at Variable Loading

The present paper reports a 2D-PIV (particle image velocimetry) study of the effect of the operating point on the leakage flow in a low-speed ring fan. First, the flow pattern has been studied at 12 operating points covering the whole characteristic curve. At very low loading, the leakage flow strea...
