I came across a Ceiling Fan Design Guide by some folks at UC Berkely.
And the matching online tool for determining ceiling fan diameter and placement.

For those who want to stay in the shallow end of the pool go straight to the tool. There's an example on how to calculate a layout. You don't have to put a value in every field. Room dimensions and Fan types is the minimum needed. The results can be presented in Imperial or metric.


I've cited the authors of the guide and tool below.

To cite the underlying models: see full-scale laboratory experiments described here.
