The use of blade slots is one of the passive methods of controlling flow in a fan impeller. Numerical CFD analyses indicate a possibility of controlling the point of flow separation in the inter-blade space depending on various configurations of the aperture arrangement. Bench studies confirm the possibility of changing the increase of total pressure and internal efficiency. Additionally, the changes affect the noise level during fan operation.
