Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The effect of five blade tip patterns on performance and acoustics of a twin-stage variable-pitch axial fan is investigated numerically. The best tip pattern is determined by comparing the overall performance under the condition of those patterns carving in stage I impeller, and the performance promotion is then examined under the selected tip grooving in stage I impeller, stage II impeller and both two stage impellers. Finally, flow dynamics and acoustic noise are explored. The results show that all proposed tip patterns can improve fan performance effectively, and the best scenario is the direct groove tip implementing in stage I impeller. After blade tip grooving, the internal dynamics in the tip clearance tends to be more complex, the static pressure reduces notably in the suction side and the sound power level in the tip increases significantly, while the leakage losses decline distinctly. Blade tip pattern changes the profile and amplitude of the sound pressure in time domain; the base frequency and first five−order harmonics are clearly observed in two stage impellers, but only the second−order harmonics are emerged in the other regions. The noise is generated largely by low and medium frequency sound with an obvious broadband feature.
