How to Optimize a Propeller or Fan Design

Ғылым және технология

In the world of turbomachinery, the design of propellers plays a significant role. Depending upon the applications, ranging from a small-scale drone propeller to the turbo-fan propellers used in aircraft, an understanding is required on how the propellers affect the fluid (air or water) flow around them, and in turn how they themselves are affected.
In this session, you will learn how the SimScale cloud-based simulation platform enables engineers to predict the flow around such propeller blades using CFD simulation.

    What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him

    Thanks for sharing. I see in your project that your geometry outside the simulation is different than inside the simulation. The simulation has a "BoundingVolume" part defined, apparently with negative geometry of the prop. How was this created?

    Hi Joshua! AFAIK the propeller was just enclosed in a cylinder in a CAD software - the so called bounding box around the cylinder & propeller can be created on the platform and will be created by the mesher! Does that clarify things?

    Hello, I have been trying to do this simulation for custom designed propeller for Mars helicopter. want to know you you defined Air material to the bounding box? I only get to select the cylinder as volume for adding material. Can you help me to define bounding volume in material section? Thanks in advance!

    You can simply select the material for your bounding box on the left side under "Material" and choose "Air" which is totally legit by the way as you want to let air go through the domain. What exactly are your concerns here? You can also select a material and adapt its parameters in case you want to adapt it due to different atmospheric conditions.

    One thing always puzzles me is why you can give arbitrary and independent inlet speed and RPM values at the same time as boundary conditions to begin with? I always thought the inlet speed is a result produced by a certain blade / system design at certain RPM. can someone educate me on this, much appreciated!

    Hello, my understanding is that the starting velocity is helpful in setting the flow in the proper direction and can help the solution to converge more quickly, even though it is not the true accurate solution for the velocity across the inlet. As such I don't think it would be a true boundary condition, just an initialization parameter.

    On your propeller efficiency slide before Q and A.....Shouldn't your RPM be engine RPM not Propeller RPM? The reason i ask is because most propellers cant exceed 3000 rpm.

    This is very specific and related to the technical application. In this simulation, we have actually simulated the propellor for this RPM range therefore we use this display format.
