EN The article presents the results of numerical calculations of noise generated by an axial fan installed in a ventilation duct with a circular cross-section. The research takes into account the installation of the axial fan due to the distance of the rotor from the curvature of the pipeline. The uRANS turbulent flow modeling methods were used in the calculations. The uRANS stands for the Navier-Stokes equation with Reynolds averaging in the version that takes into account the non-stationarity of the flow. The purpose of the work is to determine the sound power in the vicinity of the sound source. The decisive parameters affecting the noise emitted will be the length of the installation in front of and behind the rotor. The propagation of acoustic disturbances in the far field was modeled using the aeroacoustic analogy of Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings. Based on the calculations, the directional characteristics of the sound source were determined.
