Abstract:
The invention relates to a turbine blade (1) of a turbine engine including an upper surface (11), a lower surface (12), a leading edge (13), a trailing edge (14), and a squealer tip (2) at the top thereof, wherein said squealer tip (2) is defined by a rim (2a) and comprises at least one inner rib (3) that is spaced apart from the rim (2a) defining the squealer tip (2). The invention is characterized in that said inner rib (3) is shaped to define, inside the squealer tip, a cavity (4) inside of which the passage of leak flows (5) is limited, wherein an upstream opening (131) is made in the rim (2a) at the leading edge (13), and a downstream opening (141) is made in the rim (2a) at the trailing edge (14).
