A turbo fluid machine includes a rotary shaft configured to rotate in one rotational direction, and a radial foil bearing. The radial foil bearing includes: a bump foil formed of an elastic thin plate having a corrugated shape. The bump foil is divided into first and second foil portions located respectively on one side and on the other side in an axial direction of the rotary shaft. Ridges on the first foil portion are inclined in the other rotational direction of the rotary shaft while extending from an edge of the first foil portion adjacent to the other side toward the one side in the axial direction. The ridges on the second foil portion are inclined in the other rotational direction of the rotary shaft while extending from an edge of the second foil portion adjacent to the one side toward the other side in the axial direction.

An airflow profile structure having a leading and/or trailing edge profiled with a serrated profile. The serrated profile has a succession of teeth and depressions, characterized in that, along the leading and/or trailing edge, from a first location to a second location, the teeth of the serrated profile are individually inclined towards the second location.

A liner for a combustor includes a support member, an intermediate member, and a liner member. The intermediate member is positioned intermediate the support member and the liner member and has a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of recesses. The support member is coupled to the intermediate member at a tangent of each protrusion. Additionally, the liner member is comprised of a ceramic matrix composite material. The liner member is coupled to the intermediate member at a tangent of each recess.

A fan blade (1) has a front leading edge (2) and a rear trailing edge (3). The fan blade (1) has a leading edge (4), at least some portions, that are undulated. The edge forms a wave (W) with a specific three-dimensional waveform.

A guide vane ring for a turbomachine minimizes a leakage flow that passes through a recess (11) into which a guide vane disk is inserted. It has a guide vane row having a plurality of guide vanes (20), each having a vane airfoil (24) and a vane disk (21), as well as an inner ring (10) having an inner ring surface (12) facing the plurality of guide vanes. Viewed in the direction (R) of a designated primary flow streaming through the turbomachine, the vane disks (21) have a front and a rear surface region (22a, 22b). In a nominal and/or a maximum open position of the guide vanes, the front and/or the rear surface region (22a, 22b) of at least one of the vane disks has an offset (31a, 31b) from the inner ring surface (12) that is radially disposed (relative to a central axis (X) of the inner ring (10)).

A profiled structure for an aircraft or turbomachine is elongated in a direction in which the structure has a length exposed to an airflow and includes serrations defined by successive teeth and depressions. The serrations may be transverse to a leading edge and/or a trailing edge of the profiled structure and in the direction of elongation. Along the profiled leading edge and/or profiled trailing edge, the successive teeth and depressions may extend only over a part of the length exposed to the flow. The amplitude and/or spacing of the teeth may vary monotonically except for the few teeth nearest each end of the part, with a remaining part of the length being smooth.

A drainage pump has an impeller, a motor for driving the impeller, and a pump housing surrounding the impeller. The pump housing has an end wall, a side wall, an inlet, and an outlet. The side wall extends from the end wall. The side wall and the end wall cooperatively define a pump chamber. The inner surface of the side wall has at least one interfering surface for mixing of fluid flowing through the pump housing.

The present disclosure relates to a cell structure for an acoustic attenuation device for a nacelle of an aircraft propulsion assembly. This cell structure includes lateral partitions forming channels that each extend between a first end and a second end and skin elements arranged so that each channel is at least partly closed at the first end thereof by at least one skin element. Each skin element is connected to a respective lateral partition and can move relative to the other lateral partitions. A continuous skin can be assembled on this cell structure so as to at least partly close the channels at the second end thereof and to thus form an acoustic attenuation device.

A component stage for a turbomachine includes a component section. The component section includes a flowpath surface at least partially exposed to a core air flowpath defined by the turbomachine, when the component stage is installed in the turbomachine. The component further includes a plurality of sequentially arranged riblets on the flowpath surface, the plurality of sequentially arranged riblets customized for an anticipated location of the flowpath surface within the turbomachine by defining one or both of a non-uniform geometry or a non-uniform spacing.

An apparatus and method for an engine component having a hot surface adjacent a hot combustion gas flow and a cooling surface adjacent a cooling fluid flow can include at least one dimple for enhancing the cooling along the cooling surface. The dimple can be shaped having a head and a tail with the head disposed upstream of the tail to provide for reduced dust collection along the engine component.
