Abstract

The performance of turbine blade depends on the blade geometry and profile. Biomimetic
technology indicated that the cross-section of a fish tail has an airfoil-like cross-section. In
this study, the concept of the nature of the fish tail was used to develop a fish tail blade
model using AutoCAD and CATIA software.
