Air Flow Simulation in High-pressure Fan with Splitter Blade

In the process of fan's design,splitter blades could be adopted in the middle of rotator to improve the performance of fan.In order to understand the flow pattern in the high-pressure centrifugal blower of 9-26type with splitter blade thoroughly,computational fluid dynamics Fluent is applied and the three dimensional air flows in the fan is numerically simulated and analyzed.The calculating results showed that under the same condition,the flux of the fan was improved 5%approximately and the mean total pressure at outlet of the fan was improved 10% because of the splitter blade,the length of the splitter blade affected the flux either.Standardk-eturbulent model and unstructured grids are applied in computation.The results of calculation can good helpful for people to improve the performance of the fan.
