Abstract:
An airfoil (200), comprising an airfoil body and an internal cavity (210) within the airfoil body. The internal cavity (210) may comprise an outer edge (212) comprising a first outer scallop (213) and a second outer scallop (213), an inner edge (211) opposite the outer edge (212), the inner edge (211) comprising a first inner scallop (213) and a second inner scallop (213), a leading edge (208) spanning between the outer edge (212) and the inner edge (211), and a trailing edge (209) spanning between the outer edge (212) and the inner edge (211) and opposite the leading edge (208). Between the outer edge (212), the inner edge (211), the leading edge (208), and the trailing edge (209), the internal cavity may comprise eight columns of pedestals (221...228) disposed axially relative to one another and axially between the leading edge (208) and the trailing edge (209).
Abstract:
An airfoil platform includes a platform body (100) having an arcuate base (108) defining a centerline axis (A). A rail (110) extends radially outboard from a side of the arcuate base. A feed orifice (114) is defined at least partially in the rail. The inner diameter edge (122) of an axially facing opening (124) of the feed orifice is spaced apart radially outboard of an outer diameter surface of the arcuate base. A method for manufacturing an airfoil platform includes providing an airfoil platform body (100) and forming the feed orifice (114) through the rail. Forming the feed orifice through the rail includes forming the feed orifice radially outboard of and spaced apart from the outer diameter surface of the arcuate base.

The inner platform (72) defines a plurality of first inner cooling holes (96) disposed proximate the leading edge (80) and extending towards the suction side (86), a plurality of second inner cooling holes (98) disposed proximate the trailing edge (82) and the suction side (86), and a plurality of third inner cooling holes (100) disposed proximate the trailing edge (82) and the pressure side (84).
Abstract:
A turbine blade (161) includes a platform (162), an airfoil tip (164), and an airfoil section (165) between the platform (162) and the airfoil tip (164). The airfoil section (165) has a cavity (177) spaced radially from the airfoil tip (164) and a plurality of cooling passages (182) radially between the cavity (177) and the airfoil tip (164). Each of the plurality of cooling passages (182) defines an exit port (184) adjacent the airfoil tip (164). An internal feature (188) within each of the plurality of cooling passages (182) is configured to meter flow to the exit port (184).
Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes spaced apart pressure and suction walls joined at leading and trailing edges to provide an airfoil. Intermediate walls interconnect the pressure and suction walls to provide cooling passageways. The cooing passageways have interior pressure and suction surfaces that are respectively provided on the pressure and suction walls. Trip strips include a chevron-shaped trip strip that is provided on at least one of the interior pressure and suction surfaces.
Abstract:
An assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a first platform and an airfoil extending from the first platform. The airfoil includes a first fillet, pressure side biased discharge openings, and a first center cooling discharge opening. A pressure side wall of the airfoil and the first platform form an acute angle at the trailing edge. The first fillet is formed around a perimeter of the airfoil where the airfoil extends from the first platform. The pressure side biased cooling discharge openings are along the trailing edge outside of the first fillet. Each pressure side biased cooling discharge opening extends from the trailing edge along the pressure side wall. The first center cooling discharge opening extends along the trailing edge into the first fillet and is centrally located between the pressure side wall and the suction side wall.
Abstract:
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes an outer airfoil wall that provides an exterior surface and multiple radially extending cooling passages. The exterior surface provides pressure and suctions sides joined by leading and trailing edges. The cooling passages include a supply passage arranged upstream from and in fluid communication with a trailing edge passage. A cooling hole extends through the outer airfoil wall from the supply passage to the exterior surface on the suction side.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes a structure having a cooling passage providing upstream and downstream portions separated from one another by an inner wall and fluidly connected by a bend. The downstream portion includes an outer wall opposite the inner wall to provide a downstream region extending between the inner and outer walls. A turbulence promoter extends from the outer wall adjacent to the bend in the downstream portion. The turbulence promoter is absent from a stagnation region adjoining the inner wall adjacent to the bend in the downstream portion
