Parametric Design of Turbomachinery Blades
EUROCON 2005 - The International Conference on "Computer as a Tool", 2005 A software is presented for the design of turbomachinery blades. It provides the ability to interactively construct 3D turbomachinery parametric bladings of various types. The blades' as well as the hub and shroud surfaces are modeled as NURBS 3D surfaces, although the design parameters used for their construction correspond to 2D sections.
