3D Geometric Modeling of Francis Turbine Blades Based on Wooden Patterns and UG Software

Article Preview

Abstract:

To quickly and easily get a smooth and accurate 3D model of blades, This paper was based on the two-dimensional wooden patterns of the existing francis turbine blades in "AutoCAD", by importing UG software platform, directly translating two-dimensional lines to get three-dimensional wooden patterns, without calculating the spatial coordinates of distribution points on the blade section lines, obtaining the optimized smooth pressure sides and suction sides of the blades by characteristic surface intersecting lines, after partial rounding and sewing the sheets, the process of three-dimensional modeling of blades was finally completed. This takes a solid foundation for hydraulic performance prediction and CFD numerical simulation analysis of the francis turbine. The blade modeling method described in this article has some reference value.
