<p>A fan for moving a gaseous fluid, e.g., air, is described in which the high audible frequency noise resulting from the phenomenon occurring at the trailing edges of the blades, known as vortex shedding, is reduced. This is accomplished by notching an edge of each of the blades so that the pattern of vortices leaving the blade, which causes the noise, is disturbed and a turbulence condition engendered. The turbulence distributes the pressure fluctuations resulting from movement of the blades through the fluid over a relatively broad band of frequencies and reduces the annoying noise frequencies. Various notch configurations are disclosed.</p> |
