Abstract
The effect of rotor blade installation angle on the structure-borne noise of adjustable-blade axial-flow fans is analyzed based on the fluid–solid coupling method. The co-simulation environment ANSYS Workbench is adopted to perform one-way fluid–solid coupling analysis. Following this, the properties of the flow field and noise field with different installation angles are simulated. The flow field simulation results reported significant vorticity near the rotor and stator, and a larger installation angle may cause higher pressure fluctuation. The sound field results showed that the frequency spectrum characteristics for the sound pressure level and the sound power level are almost the same while the installation angle changes from −8° to 8°, and the peaks of frequency spectrum occur at the blade passing frequency and its harmonics. The total sound pressure level (TSPL) and the total sound power level (TPWL) all show increasing trends ranging from −8° to +8°. The maxima of TSPL and TPWL reach 134.1 and 176 dB, while their minima reach 123.1 and 163 dB, respectively. Thus, reduction of the installation angle can reduce the structure-borne noise. Besides, the structure-borne noise generated by adjustable-blade axial-flow fans is low-frequency noise, which lies in the range of 0–500 Hz.
