Research on predicting air resistance in complex pipelines with fans

Abstract

This article proposes a prediction method for air resistance in aircraft brake chambers by analyzing the theoretical resistance along the pipeline and local resistance. It develops an air resistance calculation software based on this method. Finally, the air resistance of aircraft brake chamber pipes with three different specifications of fans was predicted using the methods and software presented in this article. The comparison between the predicted results and the simulation results shows that the method is accurate and reliable, and can be used to predict the air resistance inside the aircraft brake chamber.
