Design and Simulation of a Binatone Fan with Seven Passive Vanes

A computational design and simulation study of a Binatone standing fan with seven passive vanes, tested within a scaled-down prototype of a Design Studio classroom. Using SolidWorks for modeling and STAR-CCM+ for CFD simulation, the project analyzed airflow behavior, vane-guided directional flow, and ventilation performance. Results demonstrated how passive design features can improve indoor air circulation and fan efficiency without increasing energy consumption
