PIV-Based Analysis of Internal Flow Evolution and Coherent Structures in a Semi-Open Axial Flow Fan
The internal flow of a semi-open axial flow fan is highly three-dimensional and unsteady due to the absence of a confined passage. The evolution of complex vortical structures, such as the tip leakage vortex (TLV) and corner separation vortex (CSV ...
