Abstract

Axial fans are widely applied in the industrial sector. Axial fans are used for ventilation systems and other cooling systems. The blade design of the axial fan requires an airfoil study. Unfortunately, there are not many articles that discuss in detail about airfoils, especially on noise and vibration that can have an impact on axial fan performance using computational fluid methods or software. This study performs axial fan analysis using computational methods with ANSYS Fluent, Static Structural, Modal and Harmonic Response software to obtain the values of stress, vibration and fluid flow. The experimental design used is using NACA 1412, 4142, and 6412 airfoils on the tip with variations in angles of 60, 74, and 80. While on the hub uses NACA 9312, 9412, and 9512 airfoils with angle variations of 20, 30, and 60 and simulated to find the value of vibration and stress analysis. The 3D axial fan design is imported into the ANSYS Fluent, Static Structural, Modal and Harmonic Response software. The simulation results using Ansys Fluent, shows the pressure contour with a maximum value of 198.424 Pa and Velocity streamline with a maximum value of 28.8669 m/s. the results of the Ansys Static Structural simulation show that the average total deformation is 9.9275e-008 m. The simulation results using Ansys Modal, show that there is a natural frequency of 287.8 Hz and the simulation results of Ansys Harmonic Response obtained an average total deformation of 5.0809e-012 m and the equivalent stress value with a maximum value of σ y, max = 0.20186 Pa.

Abstract

An oscillating water column (OWC) is a type of power generation device that converts ocean wave energy into electrical energy. The motion of ocean waves forces air through the OWC column and drives a rotor connected to a generator to produce electricity. The Wells turbine is a typical kind of rotor for OWC system. The performance of the Wells turbine can be influence by various factor, such as its geometry. Over the time, various research have been conducted to enhance the Wells turbine design. This study aims to analyze the impact of blade profiles on an 8-bladed Wells turbine’s performance using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. A full-domain with multiple reference frame (MRF) approach is applied to represent the rotating flow of the turbine. The flow is solved using Reynold Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver accompanied by shear stress transport turbulunce model to capture the boundary layer near the wall. In this study, some blade profiles including NACA 0012, NACA 0015, and NACA 0018, with chord lengths of 100 mm, 125 mm, and 150 mm, are examined. The results of this study reveal that the NACA 0018 blade profile with a 150 mm chord length improves the torque coefficient by 36.28% and the power coefficient by 1.04% compared to other configurations.
