A cooling assembly includes a coolant chamber disposed inside an airfoil of a turbine assembly that directs coolant inside the airfoil. The airfoil extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge along an axial length of the airfoil. Inlet cooling channels are fluidly coupled with the coolant chamber and direct the coolant in a direction toward a trailing edge chamber of the airfoil. The trailing edge chamber is fluidly coupled with at least one inlet cooling channel. The trailing edge chamber is disposed at the trailing edge of the airfoil and includes an inner surface. The inlet cooling channels direct at least a portion of the coolant in a direction toward the inner surface of the trailing edge chamber. One or more outlet cooling channels direct at least a portion of the coolant in one or more directions away from the trailing edge chamber.

A turbomachine defines an axial direction, a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and a circumferential direction extending concentrically around the axial direction. The turbomachine includes a nozzle having an inner platform, an outer platform, and an airfoil. The airfoil includes a leading edge, a trailing edge downstream of the leading edge, a pressure side surface, and a suction side surface opposite the pressure side surface. The trailing edge defines a circular arc between the inner platform and the outer platform.

An airfoil includes a cooling passage circuit that has a first plenum, a skincore passage, a first connector passage, a second plenum, and a second connector passage. The first plenum is in a first platform and extends adjacent a first side, a trailing end, and a second side of and airfoil section. The skincore passage is embedded in the first side of the airfoil section and extends longitudinally. The first connector passage is longitudinally spaced from an internal core cavity in the airfoil section so as to extend around the cavity. The first connector passage connects the first plenum with the skincore passage. The second plenum is in the second platform and extends adjacent the first side, the trailing end, and the second side of the airfoil section. The second connector passage connects the skincore passage with the second plenum.

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.

A compressor aerofoil for a turbine engine includes a tip portion which extends in a first direction from a main body portion defined by a suction surface wall having a suction surface and a pressure surface wall having a pressure surface. The suction and pressure surface walls meet at a leading edge and a trailing edge. The tip portion includes a tip wall which extends continuously along a camber line of the aerofoil, the camber line extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge. A shoulder is provided on each of the suction and pressure surface walls. A transition region tapers from each of the shoulders in a direction towards the tip wall. The tip wall defines a squealer with a tip surface which increases in width from the leading edge to a point of maximum width, and then decreases in width all the way to the trailing edge.

In a guide vane according to an embodiment of the invention, where in a section perpendicular to a guide vane rotation axis, a curvature of a contour line forming a runner side vane surface of the guide vane is referred to as a positive curvature when the contour line is formed to be convex, while the curvature of the contour line is referred to as a negative curvature when the contour line is formed to be concave, a negative curvature portion where the curvature of the contour line becomes negative is provided on the runner side vane surface. The negative curvature portion is formed from an upper end portion to a lower end portion of the runner side vane surface.
