ABSTRACT
This paper presents a CFD study on flow characteristics in the centrifugal fan in nominal and off-design
conditions. Numerical calculations were carried out using ANSYS CFX package [10]. The numerical model
was verified on the grounds of experimental tests using the standard methods to determine the performance
curve of centrifugal fans. The following paper also presents the pressure distributions in select cross-sections
of a machine, relative velocity, and static pressure profiles inside the rotor blade channels for the full range of
flow characteristics.
