Autodesk CFD Setup for Axial Fan Simulation (Reusable Template for Multiple Designs) -- 2
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
Project Description
I am currently working on a Master’s thesis project focused on the aerodynamic performance of axial fans. The goal is to evaluate airflow performance (CFM) for multiple fan geometries using Autodesk CFD.
I already have several parametric fan designs created in CAD. What I need is help configuring one correct and reusable CFD simulation setup that I can later replicate for many fan designs.
The freelancer is not expected to run many simulations, but rather to build a robust simulation template that I can reuse by simply replacing the fan geometry.
Project Objective
The main objective of the simulation is to:
Evaluate and compare airflow performance (CFM) of axial fan designs.
The CFD setup should allow consistent comparison between multiple fan geometries.
Scope of Work
The freelancer will help configure a complete Autodesk CFD simulation setup including:
• Proper computational domain design (upstream and downstream distances)
• Correct rotating region setup for the fan
• Appropriate boundary conditions
• Suitable turbulence model for fan airflow
• Stable mesh configuration with refinement near blades
• A reliable method to measure volumetric flow rate (CFM)
The setup should be physically correct and numerically stable.
Important Requirement
The simulation must be designed so that I can:
• Replace the fan geometry
• Re-run the simulation
• Extract airflow results (CFM)
This template will be used for multiple fan designs in my research.
What I Will Provide
I will provide:
• The fan CAD geometry
• A rotating region cylinder around the fan
• The external domain geometry
• The target fan rotational speed (RPM)
