Assessment of Steady and Unsteady Full Annulus Simulations Predictivity for a Low-Speed Axial Fan at Load-Controlled Windmill

A steady mixing plane approach is compared with the time-averaged solution of an unsteady full annulus calculation for a conventional fan operating at load-controlled windmill. The objective is to assess the added value of a complete unsteady calculation compared with a more classical approach, espe...
