Abstract
An exemplary embodiment provides a method of predicting a geometry of a turbine blade, comprising: obtaining a point cloud of the turbine blade, the point cloud comprising a plurality of points corresponding to locations on an external contour of the turbine blade; generating an external mesh for the turbine blade based on point cloud; defining a reference axis along the length of the blade; generating a plurality of sampling planes along the length of the reference axis, each sampling plane being normal to the reference axis and having a shape defined by portions of the mesh intersecting the sampling plane; for each of the plurality of sampling planes, matching the sampling plane to an airfoil profile in a database of known airfoil profiles; and creating a geometrical representation of the turbine blade by placing the airfoils on the reference axis and connecting the perimeter of each of the airfoils.
