  • Publication number: 20240044255
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine component includes a body having an internal cooling passage with opposed walls and an array of heat transfer members attached to at least one of the opposed walls each with at least one fillet. There is an airflow direction through the cooling cavity such that the heat transfer members have a leading edge and a trailing edge. The at least one fillets have a leading edge and a trailing edge. A fillet portion leading edge is asymmetric relative to a fillet portion trailing edge to control an air flow direction towards downstream ones of the heat transfer members in the array. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10731474
    Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil body that has a peripheral wall that defines an exterior side and an interior side that bounds an internal cavity in the airfoil body. The peripheral wall has first and second wall sections joined by a transition section. The first wall section is thicker than the second wall section. The transition section provides a change in thickness between the first wall section and the second wall section. The second wall section includes a cooling hole that has a first end that opens to the internal cavity at the interior side and a second end that opens to the exterior side.

  • Patent number: 10436113
    Abstract: A cooling device for a gas turbine engine component comprises a gas turbine engine component having an upstream channel and a downstream channel that define a cooling flow path. A meter feature includes at least one hole to meter flow from the upstream channel to the downstream channel, and has an upstream side and a downstream side. An exit diffuser extends outwardly from the downstream side of the meter feature to control flow in a desired direction into the downstream channel. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
