A turbine system includes a foam generating assembly having an in situ foam generating device at least partially positioned within the fluid passageway of the turbine engine, such that the in situ foam generating device is configured to generate foam within the fluid passageway of the turbine engine.

A nozzle guide vane for a gas turbine engine having a combined side wall thickness value which varies within a cavity region so as to provide a point with a maximum value of combined side wall thickness, which is advantageous for capturing debris travelling through the engine core.

A compressor has: a rotor and a stator having vanes, a vane of the vanes having an airfoil extending from a root proximate an inner hub to a radially outer tip, the airfoil having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a chord extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge to define a chord length, the airfoil having a pressure side surface and a suction side surface, and a fillet disposed at the leading edge of the root of the airfoil and extending between the pressure side surface and the inner hub, the fillet having a radial height being maximum at the leading edge, the radial height decreasing from the leading edge to blend smoothly into a remainder of the airfoil, the fillet extending downstream from the leading edge a chord-wise distance of less than 50% of a chord length of the airfoil on the pressure side surface.

A particle separator includes a housing defining an inlet and an outlet. A flow stream is directed from the inlet to the outlet. A number of dividers are disposed in the housing and separate flow channels from each other. The flow channels extend from the inlet to the outlet. The dividers each have a profile so that the flow channels follow the profile. The dividers each include a plurality of cavities that open to each of the flow channels and that have blind ends. The cavities each have an aspect ratio greater than one, and are configured to collect particles from the flow stream.

A compressor of a gas turbine engine includes a rotor and a stator located downstream of the rotor. The stator has a plurality of vanes each with an airfoil extending span-wise between a root proximate an inner hub of the stator and a tip. A fillet is disposed at the leading edge of the root of the airfoil, and extends between a pressure side surface of the airfoil and the inner hub.

An example high-performance system may include an example high-performance component. The high-performance component may include a substrate defining a channel. The channel defines a leading ramp and a trailing ramp. The example high-performance component includes an abradable track between the leading and the trailing ramps. The abradable track includes a porous abradable composition. The example high-performance system may include a rotating component configured to contact and abrade the abradable track. An example technique for forming the abradable track includes thermal spraying a precursor composition at the channel to form the abradable track.
