The combination of these technologies enables engineers to simulate and optimize a variety of scenarios, including different operating conditions, such as varying fan speeds, flow rates, and fluid properties. FSI combines the analysis of fluid flow and structural response, allowing engineers to understand how the fan structure will deform under the influence of fluid forces.

Additionally, FEA can be used to analyze the structural integrity of the fan, ensuring it can withstand the forces and stresses generated by the fluid flow. With the use of CFD, engineers can simulate and analyze the fluid flow inside the fan, allowing them to optimize the geometry, blade angles, and other design parameters for maximum efficiency and performance. These technologies offer engineers a comprehensive toolset to design, optimize, and analyze the performance, structural integrity, and reliability of centrifugal fans. Welcome to this overview of complex virtual prototyping of centrifugal fans using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI).
