Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a reflux device blade and a compressor. The reflux device blade includes a blade main body, a hollow cavity is formed in the blade main body, and an air supplement hole is formed in the blade main body. When the hollow reflux device blade is adopted, the supplemental air entering the hollow cavity of the reflux device blade through an air supplement channel forms jet flow on a suction surface of the reflux device blade to blow off a low-speed low-energy area formed on the suction surface, so as to reduce the airflow mixing loss, prevent the intake distortion of a second-stage impeller, and improve the operation range of the compressor.

Part comprising a wall which comprises a first zone (541), a first zone (541) and the second zone (542), a network of riblets being formed on the first zone (541), the second zone (542) and also on the transition zone (54t) so as to reduce the drag of the part when a flow of air flows along said wall; the height, the width and the spacing of the riblets formed on the transition zone (54t) changing along said transition zone (54t) so as to pass from the height, width and spacing of the riblets formed on the first zone at a first end of the transition zone to the height, width and spacing of the riblets formed on the second zone (542) at a second end of the transition zone (54t), the transition zone (54t) comprising a central portion on which the riblets comprise on one hand the height and the width that are respectively equal to the height and width of the riblets on the first zone (541), and on the other hand a spacing equal to the spacing of the riblets of the second zone (542).

A guide vane airfoil for placement in a flow path portion of a turbomachine is provided, which, relative to a flow pattern in flow path portion, has a leading edge and, downstream thereof, a trailing edge, as well as a suction side and a pressure side; relative to a longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, viewed in the axial direction, in a radially inner portion, forming a first angle α with a circular arc about the longitudinal axis, and, in a radially outer portion, a second angle γ with a circular arc about the longitudinal axis. The guide vane airfoil is inclined in the outer portion, thus γ−90°, in terms of absolute value, being >0° (|γ−90°|>0°), and the guide vane airfoil being more highly inclined in the outer portion than in the inner portion, thus γ−90°, in terms of absolute value, being >α−90° (|γ−90°|>α−90°).

A turbine nozzle includes a plurality of blades arranged so as to form a tapered flow passage between each two adjacent blades. A suction surface of each blade includes a curved surface, and a throat of the flow passage is formed between the curved surface of one blade and a trailing edge of the other blade of the two adjacent blades at a throat position. An upstream end of the curved surface is positioned upstream of the throat position, and a downstream end of the curved surface is positioned downstream of the throat position.

A turbine vane assembly adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes a support and a turbine vane arranged around the support. The support is made of metallic materials. The turbine vane is made of ceramic matrix composite materials to insulate the metallic materials of the support.

A nozzle vane of a variable geometry turbocharger comprises: a nozzle vane body rotatably disposed in an exhaust gas passage defined between a shroud surface and a hub surface; and a fin disposed on at least one of a pressure surface or a suction surface of the nozzle vane body and disposed within a range of 0.6L from a trailing edge of the nozzle vane body, where L refers to a chord length of the nozzle vane body. The fin satisfies a relationship of 0.3L≤X, where X refers to a length of the fin along a chord direction of the nozzle vane body.

A multi-material vane is provided for a gas turbine engine. This vane includes an airfoil extending along a chamber line between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil extends along a span line between an inner end and an outer end. The airfoil extends laterally between a first side and a second side. The airfoil includes a base section, a first side section and a second side section. The base section defines at least a portion of the trailing edge of the airfoil. The base section is laterally between and connected to the first side section and the second side section. The first side section defines at least a portion of the first side of the airfoil. The second side section defines at least a portion of the second side of the airfoil.

Gas turbine engine (GTE) airfoils, such as rotor and turbofan blades, having multimodal thickness distributions include an airfoil tip, and an airfoil root opposite the airfoil tip in a spanwise direction. The GTE airfoil has a first, second and third locally-thickened region, with the first locally-thickened region defined at the airfoil root. A maximum thickness of each chord between the airfoil root and the airfoil tip transitions toward the leading edge between the first locally-thickened region and the second locally-thickened region, and the third locally-thickened region extends in the spanwise direction. A chord line that extends through the third locally-thickened region contains a first local thickness maxima and a second local thickness maxima interspersed with at least two local thickness minima, and the first local thickness maxima is defined by the third locally-thickened region and is greater than the second local thickness maxima.

Disclosed is a fairing element intended to be placed in a passage for flow of a fluid, in order to surround an obstacle which crosses the passage so that the fairing element guides the flow of the fluid on two opposite sides of the obstacle. The fairing element is designed such that the pressure of the flowing fluid is constant or approximately constant in an upstream part of the suction surface of the fairing element. A fairing element of this kind can be incorporated into a stator of a turbomachine, in particular of an aircraft turbomachine.

A turbine blade including an airfoil portion having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a pressure surface and a suction surface extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The airfoil portion internally forming a cooling passage, which includes first and second cooling passages, and a plurality of outflow passages each having one end which opens to a merging portion formed by connecting an end portion of the first cooling passage on a side of the trailing edge and an end portion of the second cooling passage on the side of the trailing edge, and another end which opens to the trailing edge. The first cooling passage and the second cooling passage are divided by a partition member disposed in the airfoil portion. The cooling passage includes pressure side pin fins in the first cooling passage, and suction side pin fins in the second cooling passage.
