@caufieldholden277 This is just to prove capabilities of Ansys Fluent to model a fan. The computational domain is selected in a way that we only look at the bulk flow rotation cause of the fan blades, but if wall effects are significant, we can definitely make part of the surrounding wall as the fan enclosure and include the boundary layers in the simulation too.
Thank you for your helpful video. I want to ask, I only have a data of fan velocity of 7.5 m/s. Is that possible to input velocity fan and leave the pressure at 0 Pa ? Is it will be working ? I just want a static fan velocity which has value of 7.5 m/s.
Thank you for your question - both FLUENT and CFX are advanced CFD tools with a wide range of applications. Fluent provides a wide range of simulation capabilities, including multi-phase flow, turbulence, combustion, and more. CFX, on the other hand performs better when it comes to turbomachinery, but still can be used for simulating complex flow problems, including high-Reynolds number flows, turbulent flows, and multiphase flows. The way they handle the problem computationally is also different. The choice between them will depend on the specific requirements of the simulation problem and user’s experience.
