The article is devoted to the numerical assessment of the characteristics of the fan of the cooling module of a diesel locomotive. In the work, the authors consider modern methods and approaches to numerical modeling of fans used in cooling systems of railway diesel locomotives. The focus is on fan performance analysis. The results obtained allow us to better understand and optimize fan operation in the context of diesel locomotive cooling systems, which can help improve the efficiency and reliability of these systems as a whole. The study is important for engineers and specialists in the field of railway transport.
