It is of great value to study the impact of abnormal blade installation angle on the inducement mechanism of rotating stall to achieve the active control of rotating stall in an axial fan. Based on throttle value function and SST k-ω turbulence model, numerical simulations of the unsteady flow process in stall condition of an axial flow fan with adjustable vanes were carried out, and the influence mechanism of abnormal stagger angle of a single blade in the second stage rotor on induced position and type of stall inception and evolution process of rotating stall were analyzed. The results show that compared with synchronous adjustment of blade angle, the blade with abnormal stagger angle will cause the increase of flow rate at the beginning of stall and make the fan fall into an unstable condition in advance. The existence of blade with abnormal angle does not cause the change of the induced position and type of stall inception and the inducement mechanism of rotating stall, which are the same as the axial fan with normal blade angle. Moreover, the single blade with abnormal deviation angle has important impacts on the 3D unsteady evolution process from stall inception to stall cell formation in two rotors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
