Parabolically Blended Surface of Revolution:
Let the parabolically blended curve described by the points P1 [0 1 0], P2 [2 3 0], P3 [4 1 0], P4 [5 2 0]. Rotate this curve around the x-axis through 360o to attain a surface of revolution. Determine the surface point at u = 0.5 and φ = 60o = π/3.
By using Eqs.( 13) and (14), the parametric equation of the surface of revolution is
Q (u, φ) = [T] [A] [G] [S]
putting the value of [S], [T], [A] and [G]
For t = 0.5 & φ = π/3 (60o)
= [ 49/16 33/32 33√3/32 ] = [3.0625 1.03125 1.786181 1]
The resulting surface can be the design of a even or bowl a wind tunnel or rocket nozzle.
