SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS FOR INSPECTED BLADED ROTORS

A method is providing comprising receiving, via a processor, a digital representation of a potentially repaired blade from an inspection system, the digital representation including a repair blend profile, the digital representation based on an inspected blade of an inspected bladed rotor; generating, via the processor, an airfoil definition file corresponding to the digital representation, inputting, via the processor, the airfoil definition file into an aerodynamic simulator, receiving, via the processor, simulation results from the aerodynamic simulator of the potentially repaired blade; analyzing, via the processor, an overall engine impact of the potentially repaired blade based on the simulation results, inputting, via the processor, a plurality of simulation results into an aerodynamic effect translator, and receiving, via the processor, a translated impact for local effect of a repaired bladed rotor with the potentially repaired blade.
