Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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
This paper takes centrifugal fan as the research object and establishes five impeller models with different blade outlet angles. By means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the external characteristics of the centrifugal fan and the internal characteristics, including the velocity, pressure, and turbulent energy distribution, at the middle span plane of the impeller or fan were obtained and compared. In addition, the pressure fluctuations surrounding the impeller outlet were also analyzed. The results showed that the change of the blade outlet angle of the centrifugal fan had a great influence on the performance; the total pressure and efficiency of the fan were the highest when the outlet angle of the blade was increased to 29.5 under the design flow rate; and the influence of the outlet angle on the fan performance was different in off-design conditions. On the other hand, at different flow rates, the change of the internal flow field with the increase of the outlet angle was different. For the pressure fluctuation of the fan, by increasing the blade outlet angle properly under high flow conditions, the fluctuation amplitude of the fan at the blade frequency and its frequency multiplication could be reduced, which is conducive to decreasing the impeller noise. The research results have good guiding significance regarding the design of the pneumatic performance and noise reduction performance of centrifugal fans.
