Abstract
A passive control of an unstable characteristics of a high specific speed diagonal-flow fan has been proposed. It is possible to eliminate the unstable characteristics of pressure-flow rate curve in a low flow region without deterioration of performance at design point. The control action is done naturally (passively) without any energy input. The inlet nozzle of an ordinary diagonal-flow fan was replaced by an annular wing with Göttingen 625 airfoil section. The mechanism of the passive control and the optimum geometrical parameter are discussed on the basis of the performance tests and internal flow measurements.
