The present invention relates to a turbine injector comprising an annular ring extending around a longitudinal axis and having a radially outer edge and a radially inner edge. The crown has a plurality of channels for fluidly connecting the radially outer edge to the radially inner edge, each channel extending in a radial plane of the ring and having an inlet opening near the outer edge and an outlet opening near the radially inner edge, the orientation of each channel varying progressively according to a tangential component between the inlet section of the inlet opening and the outlet section of the outlet opening.

An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This engine assembly includes a bladed rotor rotatable about an axis, and an engine case. The engine case includes an outer duct wall, a first circumferential stiffener, a second circumferential stiffener and a plurality of axial stiffeners. The outer duct wall forms a shroud around the bladed rotor. The first circumferential stiffener extends circumferentially about the outer duct wall. The second circumferential stiffener extends circumferentially about the outer duct wall. The axial stiffeners are arranged circumferentially about the outer duct wall. Each of the axial stiffeners extends axially between the first circumferential stiffener and the second circumferential stiffener.

Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a double walled section of an aerofoil (701) of a gas turbine engine (10), the method comprising: forming a plurality of columns (402) on an outer surface of a first structure; forming a plurality of columns (402) on a surface of each of a plurality of parts of a second structure; and forming a double walled section of an aerofoil (701) by attaching the ends of columns (402) on each part of the second structure to the ends of columns (402) on the first structure such that the first structure is an inner wall (401) of the section of the aerofoil (701) and the second structure is an outer wall (501) of the section of the aerofoil (701).

A cut-back of a blade or vane in a gas turbine may comprise a first sidewall; a plurality of trailing ribs extended from the first sidewall and arranged along an end of the first sidewall; a second sidewall separated from the first sidewall, having a longer tail than the first sidewall and in contact with the plurality of trailing ribs; and one or more cut-back blocks extended between two trailing ribs along the inner surface of the second sidewall. The cut-back of the blade or vane may reduce the weight through the trailing ribs and the cut-back blocks formed at the trailing edge, and improve a heat transfer effect while retarding crack growth.

An engine component assembly is provided with an insert having cooling features. The engine component comprises a cooled engine component surface having a flow path on one side thereof and a second component adjacent to the first component. The second component, for example an insert, may have a plurality of openings forming an array wherein the openings extend through the second component at a non-orthogonal angle to the surface of the second component. The second engine component has a plurality of discrete cooling features disposed on a surface facing the first component and near the plurality of cooling openings.

A hollow blade of a gas turbine engine has a sacrificial elongated damper disposed slideably in a chamber for minimizing modes of vibration during operation. The chamber is defined between two opposing surfaces generally spanning radially outward from an axis of the engine and a face facing radially inward. The damper is constructed and arranged to make loaded contact with the face via a centrifugal force created by rotation of the engine.

A turbomachine includes a shroud and a hub spaced apart from the shroud to channel an airflow along a direction. The turbomachine includes a plurality of airfoils coupled between the shroud and the hub. At least one airfoil of the plurality of airfoils includes a leading edge spaced apart from a trailing edge in the direction of the airflow and a pressure side opposite a suction side. The at least one airfoil has a chord that is 0% chord at the leading edge and 100% chord at the trailing edge, and a span defined as 0% at the hub and 100% at the shroud. The turbomachine includes at least one local vortex generator array defined onto the hub between 0% chord to ?10% chord at 0% span so as to extend forward of the leading edge.

Various embodiments provide a rotor disk assembly capable of preventing a slip between rotor disks when rotating, and capable of performing a balancing operation such that the center of gravity thereof is the same as that of a rotating shaft, and a gas turbine including the rotor disk assembly. The rotor disk assembly may include: a plurality of rotor disks disposed parallel to each other; a tie rod passing through the plurality of rotor disks and coupling the plurality of rotor disks to each other; a plurality of coupling depressions formed in each of facing surfaces of the plurality of rotor disks; and a plurality of coupling pins each having opposite ends inserted into the corresponding respective coupling depressions of the facing surfaces.

A shroud assembly for a turbine section of a turbine engine includes a shroud plate in thermal communication with a hot combustion gas flow and a baffle overlying the shroud plate to define a region. One or more shaped cooling features are located along the region such that a cooling fluid flow passing through the region encounters the shaped cooling features to increase the turbulence of the cooling fluid flow.
