Prediction of Performance of a Variable-Pitch Axial Fan with Forward-Skewed Blades

For a single-stage variable-pitch axial fan, the aerodynamic performance and through flow with and without blade skewing are examined numerically. Simulated results show that the total pressure rise and efficiency increase by 2.99% and 0.16%, respectively, with the best forward-skewed angle of <i...
