  • Patent number: 11788417
    Abstract: A turbine blade and a gas turbine are provided with: an airfoil portion (41) internally including a cooling air passage (60); a platform (42) provided in a blade base end portion (55) in a blade height direction (Dh) of the airfoil portion (41); and a fillet portion (80) provided around the entire perimeter of a connecting portion of the airfoil portion (41) and the platform (42). The fillet portion (80) includes a first fillet portion (81) which is provided on a rear side blade surface (53) side of the airfoil portion (41), on the trailing edge (52) side of a position at which the distance between the rear side blade surface (53) of the airfoil portion (41) and a rear side edge portion (44) of the platform (42) is shortest, and which has a fillet width (W) that is greater than the fillet width W of other regions of the fillet portion (80).

  • Patent number: 11643935
    Abstract: A turbine blade includes an airfoil body, and a plurality of cooling passages extending along a blade height direction inside the airfoil body and being in communication with each other to define a serpentine flow passage. The plurality of cooling passages include first turbulators on an inner wall surface of an upstream cooling passage of the plurality of cooling passages, and second turbulators on an inner wall surface of a downstream cooling passage of the plurality of cooling passages. A second angle formed by the second turbulators with respect to a flow direction of a cooling fluid in the downstream cooling passage is smaller than a first angle formed by the first turbulators with respect to the flow direction of the cooling fluid in the upstream cooling passage.
