When the automotive engine cooling fan is actually working, there is a process of interaction and coupling between the fluid and solid domains on the blades. In order to study the influence of the "fluid structure coupling" effect on the aerodynamic and structural performance of fans during operation, a fan performance calculation model was established with and without considering the fluid structure coupling effect of fans. We conducted aerodynamic performance tests on fans, tested the relationship between fan flow rate, static pressure, transmission efficiency and fan speed, and compared and analyzed the calculated fan performance. The aerodynamic performance and structural deformation of the fan were calculated under different flow rates, rotational speeds and environmental temperatures, with and without considering the coupling of fan blades and airflow. The calculation results were compared and analyzed.
