Abstract:
A blade for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil having a tip with a terminal end surface and multiple squealer pockets recessed into the terminal end surface. A method of cooling a blade includes the steps of providing cooling fluid to a first squealer pocket in an airfoil tip, and providing cooling fluid to a second squealer pocket in the airfoil tip in an amount that is different than that provided to the first squealer pocket.
