Abstract

In this paper, the investigation of the cycloidal rotor fan (CRF) was presented. A CRF with four blades of the NACA0012 profile was used for the analysis. The CFD calculations were carried out by means of Ansys CFX commercial software. The experimental tests were done using velocity field measurement with the LDA technique. Numerical results were compared with experimental measurement in terms of velocity values. The CRF performance characteristic was prepared on the basis of experimental and numerical results.
