Abstract: Blade root receptacle for receiving a blade root of a rotor blade of a turbomachine. The blade root receptacle, for radially bearing in a form-fitting manner on the blade root, has a supporting flank which, in terms of a rotation axis, at least in proportions faces radially inward, wherein the supporting flank is provided with a convexity which, when viewed in an axially perpendicular section, at least in portions has a convex shape and, also when viewed in an axially parallel section, at least in portions has a convex shape.

Abstract: An intermediate element is for a blade/rotor disk connection in a rotor of a fluid flow machine. The intermediate element is adapted to a shape of a blade root of a blade and to a blade root slot in a rotor disk for receiving the blade root such that, when arranged between the blade root and rotor disk, the intermediate element prevents contact between the blade root and rotor disk. The intermediate element has, on an outer surface that faces the rotor disk, at least one protrusion to reduce an air flow parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotor between the rotor disk and the intermediate element; and on an inner surface that faces the blade root, a recess that corresponds to the at least one protrusion.

Abstract: A gas turbine has a rotor blade. The rotor blade has a blade root connected to an airfoil. The blade root has a root contour with respect to a cross-sectional view. From a lower end of the blade root, the blade root contour has convex contour portions and concave contour portions. From the lower end along the blade root contour between a convex contour portion and an adjoining concave contour portion, there is a contour portion as a flank portion that is load-bearing. From the lower end along the blade root contour between a concave contour portion and an adjoining convex contour portion, there is a contour portion as a flank portion that is not load-bearing in operation. At least one of the concave contour portions has a first arc portion, a second arc portion, and a straight portion disposed between the two arc portions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing a component, in particular an aircraft engine, comprising the steps of: determining (S40) a value of a first toleranced parameter (A1; A2) of the component; determining (S50) a value of a second toleranced parameter (E1; ...; E4) of the component; and classifying (S70) the component in a predefined quality class if this value pair lies outside of a predefined tolerance range, the upper and/or lower limit (G) of which for the second parameter depends on the first parameter, in particular linearly, in at least one first permissible value range (Ta1,1) of the first parameter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor for a turbomachine, having at least one blade and having at least one rotor main part, which has at least one recess, in which a blade root of the least one blade is interlockingly received, wherein the blade root comprises at least one depression, in which at least one protrusion of the at least one rotor main part which protrusion delimits the at least one recess in regions is received, wherein the at least one depression is delimited by a first delimiting face on the blade root side and the at least one protrusion is delimited by a second delimiting face on the rotor main part side. At least the first delimiting face has at least one elevation which narrows a gap at least in regions, which extends between the first delimiting face and the second delimiting face.

Abstract: Blade root receptacle for receiving a blade root of a rotor blade of a turbomachine. The blade root receptacle, for radially bearing in a form-fitting manner on the blade root, has a supporting flank which, in terms of a rotation axis, at least in proportions faces radially inward, wherein the supporting flank is provided with a convexity which, when viewed in an axially perpendicular section, at least in portions has a convex shape and, also when viewed in an axially parallel section, at least in portions has a convex shape.

Abstract: A rotor blade system includes a blade root, a blade neck adjoining the blade root, an airfoil adjoining the blade neck, a radially outer partition wall, an axially forward partition wall and an axially rearward partition wall, connected to the radially outer partition wall such that the partition walls surround the blade neck on three sides, the partition walls projecting beyond the blade neck in the circumferential direction, and further including a blade root protection plate designed to be arranged on the blade root. It is provided that the blade root protection plate have at least one sealing portion that extends in the axial direction from the forward partition wall to the rearward partition wall and whose radially outer side is disposed opposite the radially outer partition wall when the blade root protection plate is arranged on the blade root.

Abstract: A cooling system for cooling a turbine blade with a cooling fluid via an internal flow passage formed in the turbine blade extending from an inlet to an outlet edge having a first passage section defining a first flow direction, a second passage section defining a second flow direction, a wall between the first and second passage section and a diverter, between the first and the second passage section. The wall in a region of the diverter forms a pier head which extends into the region of the first passage section and thereby reduces the flow cross section of the flow passage.
