The theory of the reactive fan. Part 1: Construction types, operating characteristics, flow pattern, velocity fields
Abstract
The development and present applications of the reactive fan is outlined. The flow field is defined by the superposition of (1) the velocity field of the turbulent-free normal flow, (2) the velocity field of the turbulence distribution replaced by the blade, and (3) the velocity field of the flowing-away turbulence due to the blade circulation change. Differential equations which describe the flow field are provided.
