Numerical and experimental investigations on non-axisymmetric D-type inlet nozzle for a squirrel-cage fan
In this study, the unique reverse-flow around the inlet nozzle of a squirrel-cage fan was numerically studied by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and a non-axisymmetric D-type inlet nozzle was proposed to inhibit it. It is shown that serious back flow develops at the volute tongue when the fan op...
