Purpose – Thermal power plants have many problems regarding noise and vibration. Previous studies have shown that such problems are often related to the fans. However, the internal flows are difficult to analyze to find the cause of vibration and noise in fans in actual tests. Therefore, the unsteady internal flow field in a centrifugal fan was simulated numerical to identify the source. This paper aims to present these issues.Design/methodology/approach – The unsteady Reynolds‐averaged Navier‐Stokes equations with the SST k‐ω turbulence model were solved to simulate the flow within the entire flow path of the fan. The conservation of mass and moment and energy equations were used to solve the flow field distribution. The time‐dependent pressure pulsations on the impeller were analyzed for the dynamics problem. The finite volume method with the SIMPLEC algorithm was used to discretize the time‐dependent equations. The second‐order upwind scheme was used for the convection terms and the central difference ...
