Application of computational methods to industrial fan design\udprocesses has progressed steadily over the past decade.\udThe reducing cost of the computer hardware upon which codes\udrun has brought the hardware within the reach of all industrial\udfan designers. However, the cost of commercially available\udcodes remains high. Open source codes provide industrial fan\uddesigners with an alternative. The finite volume open-source\udsolver OpenFOAM has been used by scholars to predict the\udperformance of industrial centrifugal fans incorporating impeller\udblades constructed from cambered plate, but not by industrial\udfan designers. This paper presents a modelling approach\udwhich we developed for application as part of an industrial\udfan manufacturers order related design process. We compare\udnumerical performance predictions with experimental results\udboth at peak pressure and at peak efficiency conditions. As a\udfurther possible investigation, the simulated flow field is used\udto predict the patterns of erosion of the impeller
