| description | Abstract The unreasonable design of guide vanes in the axial fan could have negative effects. In order to enhance the performance, the relationship between the air volume flow rate of the selected axial fan and geometric parameters of guide vanes is firstly analysed by DOE and CFD, and optimal parameters are found by the Gaussian Process method. Results show that the number and total chord of guide vanes have a nonlinear effect on the air volume flow, and the total chord of vanes is the main factor in affecting calculation results. For the particular configuration studied here, the optimal design of guide vanes shows that lessening the chord of vanes by 38 mm and increasing the number of the vanes to 18 could produce more airflow under the same rotation speed. |
