[ICEM] Meshing axial fan

nww · May 31, 2012, 05:43

hi guys,

I have a geometry to mesh..the geometry is axial fan. and i have to mesh by using ICEM. but i dont know yet how the blocking strategy is. the fan has 9 blade. could anyone help me?

sure. It can be done very easily. I did it couple of times.

hmm..yeah..but im new in this topic actually..I just started to learn ICEM CFD a couple week ago. i never do it before this why im asking maybe you can let me know the step or any tutorial about that..thanks you b4

I can tell after looking at pics and geometry files

blades are very close to each other at hub. is this real or still you have to remove the fillets?

hmm..actually i just got the geometry from my supervisor then he asked me to mesh it..it must be real

I cannot put the periodic plan in that gap at the hub, let alone mesh it

nww · June 2, 2012, 04:13

could you please let me know the strategy of blocking for the geometry? at least i know the idea what should i do even i have to do something for the geometry

nww · June 7, 2012, 04:53

do you have any tutorial that related to axial fan meshing? please

Does any one has an idea how to handle such a close gap in ICEM? Can we the only single blade or we have to mesh full rotor due to geometric features?
