摘要

A reconstruction algorithm for blade surface from less measured points of section curves is given based on B-spline surface interpolation. The less measured points are divided into different segments by the key geometric points and throat points which are defined according to design concepts. The segmentations are performed by different fitting algorithms with consideration of curvature continuity as their boundary condition to avoid flow disturbance. Finally, a high-quality reconstruction surface model is obtained by using the B-spline curve meshes constructed by paired points. The advantage of this algorithm is the simplicity and effectivity reconstruction of blade surface to ensure the aerodynamic performance. Moreover, the obtained paired points can be regarded as measured points to measure and reconstruct the blade surface directly. Experimental results show that the reconstruction blade surface is suitable for precisely representing blade, evaluating machining accuracy, and analyzing machining allowance.
