Abstract
Low-pressure axial fans are widely used for cooling purposes in the automotive industry. Despite
their efficiency, these fans face high structural loads, which can degrade performance and increase
noise due to changing operating conditions. Accurate predictions of these effects can be achieved
through a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation. This paper introduces a one-way FSI using
a high-fidelity LBM solver to predict the unsteady flow, with validation data from the European
Acoustics Association (EAA). The surface pressure results are coupled with a Finite Elements
Analysis (FEA) software to evaluate deformation and stress levels. The deformed fan geometry is
re-simulated to analyze changes in aerodynamic and acoustic performance.
