Abstract: The present application provides a turbine blade. The turbine blade includes a root section with a first curved section, a tip section with a second curved section, and number of mean sections positioned between the root section and the tip section. The mean sections each include a substantially prismatic shape.

Abstract: An axial flow turbine is described having a casing defining a flow path for a working fluid therein, a rotor co-axial to the casing, a plurality of stages, each including a stationary row of vanes circumferentially mounted on the casing a rotating row blades, circumferentially mounted on the rotor, with within a stage n vanes have an extension such that at least a part of the trailing edge of each of the n vanes reaches into the annular space defined by the trailing edges of the remaining N-n vanes and the leading edges of rotating blades of the same stage.

Abstract: The blades of a turbomachine comprise airfoils, which are bent such that the lean angle (?), defined as the angle which the stacking line of the airfoil includes with the radial direction, and measured in the direction of rotation (?), is variable along the width of the flow channel and decreases from the hub towards the housing.
