Abstract:
Turn caps for airfoils of gas turbine engines including cavity sidewalls, a first turn cap divider extending between the cavity sidewalls and defining a turning cavity between the first turn cap divider and the cavity sidewalls, and a second turn cap divider disposed radially inward within the turning cavity. A first turning path is defined between the first turn cap divider and the second turn cap divider and a second turning path is defined radially inward of the second turn cap divider and a merging chamber is formed in the turn cap wherein fluid flows through the first turning path and the second turning path are merged, the merging chamber, the first turning path, and the second turning path forming the turning cavity.
