Guidance in Gambit 2.4 -- How change airfoil chords in Wells turbine model?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on modifying a Wells turbine model in Gambit 2.4 to increase the upper airfoil chord compared to the lower one. The user expresses doubts about the efficiency of the sweep tool for this purpose and suggests that having the coordinates of the vertices from both airfoils would facilitate creating a new model. They seek resources for airfoil coordinates that feature different chords, noting that existing sites provide identical chord data. The user is looking for alternative methods or guidance to achieve their modeling goals. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenges of customizing airfoil designs in simulation software.

hi my dear friends,

Wells turbine is the subject of the my Thesis:

i make below model in gambit 2.4 ,But now I want to make the upper airfoil cord bigger than the bottom one.

below model is constant,attention to third pictures( Attend dash line)

Now Here,
I do not think the sweep tool is efficient(attention to below picture ).

I think that have the coordinates of the vertexes from the two airfoils(for blade),I can easily Create New model.

Do not know of a site that would provide the coordinates airfoils with different chord?

The following sites provides coordinates but I think cords are identical:

Another way you know, Guide me.thanks for your help.

There is no one answer:(

thanks for your help.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
