CAD OF TURBINE PROFILE TYPE A3K7 NACA BY THE METHOD OF NONLINEAR TRANSFORMATION

The paper presents the results of designing a turbine profile type A3K7 NACA using CAD, which realizes the method of nonlinear transformation. Girst transformation was used by the authors. All calculations and graphical representations were made in the computer algebra system Mathcad. For the calculation and graphical representations the middle line, defined by coordinates, is approximated with two linear segments in the regions of the leading and tailing edges with specified angles and three nonlinear segments in the form of second order Bezier curves. The coordinates of the matching points of neighbor sections are calculated using an iterative method with an optimization of the correlation index. The coordinate of the bending point was found using the condition of equality to zero of the second derivative of the interpolative contour. The coordinates of the junction point of the leading edge are determined in the paper as ab arc and a series of points of the contour, approximated by a second order Bezier curve. After determining the first and last point of the second order Bezier curve, the coordinated of the middle point on the intersection of tangential lines that start at the first and last point of the curve. After the approximation of three sections with second order Bezier curves the integral function of the blade back (convex side of the contour) of the profile A3K7 considering the leading and tailing edges are made as arcs.
