Abstract/Summary:
one-dimensional ideal analysis is presented to predict the cross flow fan (CFF) performance in terms of the free stream conditions and design parameters. In this ideal analysis, the CFF performance was estimated for various operating conditions and the propulsive characteristics of the CFF/propulsive wing were obtained.;An experimental program was developed to explore Chawla's water table simulation in a low-speed wind tunnel test. A CFF was installed in a NACA 0025 airfoil with a housing/cavity design developed by Harloff. In order to provide a two-dimensional flow for the airfoil models, the test section was modified by insertion of end-plates. Tests were performed at four fan rotational speeds, two free stream velocities, and eight angles of attack. The test results show that the fan rotational speed has a positive effect on CFF performance in the range of...
