A Computational Study on the Performance Improvement of Low-Speed Axial Flow Fans with Microplates

This paper proposes the use of microplates as a new flow control device to suppress boundary layer separation on blades and thus improve the aerodynamic performance of a low-speed axial flow fan. A computational study is performed by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Numerical...
