The film cooling structure includes a wall part and a cooling hole inclined such that an outlet is positioned rearward of an inlet. The cooling hole includes a straight-tube part and a diffuser part. The diffuser part includes a flat surface, a curved surface curved rearward and forming, together with the flat surface, a semicircular or semi-elliptical channel cross section larger than that of the straight-tube part, a first section and a second section extending from the first section toward the outlet. In the first section, an area of the channel cross section increases as it approaches the outlet. In the second section, the area of the channel cross section increases as it approaches the outlet at an increase rate smaller than that of the first section or is constant. The diffuser part has a width equal to or twice greater than the depth of the diffuser part.

A blade for turbo machine is provided. The blade for a turbo machine includes an airfoil body extending in a radial direction between a root end and a tip end and including an inner void extending from the root end in the radial direction, a root body integrally formed with the airfoil body, extending from the root end of the air foil body to a bottom end in the radial direction, and including a receiving slot extending from the bottom end in the radial direction and opening into the inner void of the air foil body, and an insert positioned in the receiving slot of the root body and including a plurality of through holes extending in the radial direction to form a fluid connection to the inner void of the air foil body.

A turbine rotor includes a base and a plurality of blades. The base and the blades curve such that radially outward portions of the base and the blades extend in a direction with a greater component in a radial direction than in an axial direction. Radially central portions of the base and the blade extend in a direction with the two components being closer. Radially inner sections of the base and the blades extend in a direction with a greater component in the axial direction than in a radial direction. There is a cooling channel arrangement in the turbine rotor. The cooling channel arrangement includes impingement cooling for a nose and serpentine passages for cooling sections of the platform circumferentially intermediate the blades, and distinct serpentine passages for cooling the plurality of blades. A turbomachine and method are also disclosed.

A vibration damping device according to an embodiment is a vibration damping device for a blade of a rotating machine, which includes at least one housing configured to be containable in a cavity formed under a platform of the blade, and to be detachable from the blade, and an attenuation material disposed in a vibration damping space formed inside the housing.

A component, such as for a turbine engine, can include an airfoil with an outer wall defining an exterior surface bounding an interior and defining a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a chord-wise direction and extending between a root and a tip to define a span-wise direction. The component can also include at least one cooling passage within the interior.

Cantilevered airfoils and methods of forming the same are disclosed herein. An example airfoil disclosed herein includes an airfoil including an airfoil body including a first face and a second face, a first recessed portion formed in the first face and internal temperature-regulating features and a first insert disposed within the first recessed portion, the first insert causing the airfoil body to assume a first predefined curvature profile at a first temperature, the first insert causing the airfoil body to assume a second predefined curvature profile at a second temperature.

A tip shroud includes a pair of opposed, axially extending wings configured to couple to an airfoil at a radially outer end thereof. The tip shroud also includes a tip rail extending radially from the pair of opposed, axially extending wings. Tip shroud surface profiles may be of the downstream and/or upstream side of the tip rail, a leading Z-notch of the tip shroud, and/or downstream radially inner surface of a wing. The surface profiles may have a nominal profile substantially in accordance with at least part of Cartesian coordinate values of X and Y, and perhaps Z and a thickness, set forth in a respective table. The radially inner surface of the wing may define a protrusion extending along the radially outer end of the airfoil, the suction side fillet, and a radial inner surface of the wing to an axial edge of the wing.

A turbine hot gas path (HGP) component includes a body having an exterior surface exposed to a hot gas path, and a cooling circuit defined along an interior surface of the body and fluidly coupled to a coolant source. The cooling circuit includes a plurality of sections spaced from one another but fluidly connected. Each section includes a wall defining at least one cooling passage, and a connector wall coupling between the wall of a first section of the plurality of sections and the wall of an adjacent, second section of the plurality of sections. The wall of the first section and the wall of the adjacent, second section are spaced apart, segregating stress between the sections. The connector wall is more flexible than: the wall of the first section, the wall of the adjacent, second section, and the body, allowing stress relief between the sections.
