Abstract:Erosion damage can occur in fans and blowers during industrial processes, cooling, and mine ventilation. This study focuses on investigating erosion caused by particulate air flows in a centrifugal fan with forward-inclined blades. This type of fan is particularly vulnerable to erosion due to its radial flow component and flow recirculation. The flow field was solved separately, and the data transferred to the particle trajectory and erosion code. This in-house code implements the Lagrangian approach and the r… Show more
