Abstract
Identifying effects of geometric variations of physical parts may include measuring one or more surfaces of a physical part in three-dimensions, analyzing measurements of the physical part to determine a geometric variation from a baseline model, modifying an existing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mesh for the baseline model based on the geometric variation using a mesh metamorphosis algorithm to create a target mesh for the physical part, and analyzing the target mesh using a CFD analysis to determine an effect (e.g., an effect on unsteadiness) in a system caused by the geometric variation.
