An airflow profile structure having a leading and/or trailing edge profiled with a serrated profile having a succession of teeth and depressions. 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.

In some examples, article used as a component for a turbine engine that operates in a high temperature environment. The article may include: a ceramic or ceramic matrix composite (CMC) substrate; and a coating on the ceramic or the CMC substrate, wherein the coating defines an outer surface of the article. The coating includes a plurality of surface features defining channels on the outer surface of the article. The channels are configured to modify a flow of molten Calcia-Magnesia-Alumina Silicate (CMAS) over the outer surface of the coating in a gas flow over the outer surface of the article to reduce accumulation of the molten CMAS on the outer surface of the article.

A seal device is configured so that seal properties can be held over a long period of time. A seal device 1 inserted into and disposed between grooves each formed at first and second components which are adjacent to each other and collectively form a housing structure includes a first seal member inserted into the groove of the first component, a second seal member inserted into the groove of the second component, and a partitioning member extending between the first and second seal members to partition a space between the grooves of the first and second components and arranged movably relative to the first and second seal members.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. A shroud assembly of a gas turbine engine includes: a first shroud arm having a first end and a second end, the first end to couple to an outer wall and the second end to couple to a first shroud pad, and a second shroud arm having a first end and a second end, the first end to couple to the outer wall and the second end to couple to a second shroud pad, at least one of the first shroud pad or the second shroud pad to move radially outward toward the outer wall in response to a rotor blade contacting the at least one of the first shroud pad or the second shroud pad.

A front fan turbomachine includes an annular separating wall having a slat for separating an air flow between a primary flow and a secondary flow, the slat having a leading edge; inlet guide vanes (IGV) for guiding the primary flow and outlet guide vanes (OGV) blades for guiding the secondary flow. The leading edge of the slat has a serrated profile having a succession of teeth and depressions.

A shaft for a gas turbine engine includes an inner contour with a stiffening rib that defines a stiffened wall thickness related to a nominal wall thickness according to a ratio between about 1.125-2.1.

A free-tipped axial fan assembly features a shroud barrel comprising an inlet, the radius of said inlet at its upstream end being greater than the radius of said inlet at its downstream end. An angle, in a plane including the fan axis, between the surface of said inlet and the direction of the fan axis varies non-monotonically with respect to a surface coordinate which increases with distance along the surface of the inlet.

A gas turbine combustor includes a main mixer for providing an air flow to mix with a fuel flow in a combustor. The main mixer includes an annular mixer body, a plurality of mixer vanes located circumferentially around the annular mixer body, and a plurality of wedges extending radially outward from each of the plurality of mixer vanes. At least one of the wedges includes serrations. The air flow through the main mixer enters the main mixer at a leading edge of the mixer vane, flows over the plurality of wedges, and exits the mixer vanes at a trailing edge of the main mixer. The wedges create vortices in the air flow to provide a uniform fuel-air flow.

In one exemplary embodiment, a gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine defines a radial direction, an axial direction, and an axis extending along the axial direction of the gas. The gas turbine engine includes: a shaft configured to rotate about the axis; an electric machine comprising a rotor coupled to and rotatable with the shaft and a stator, the rotor defining an end along the axial direction; and a cooling manifold rotatable with the rotor and positioned at the end of the rotor, the cooling manifold configured to receive a flow of cooling fluid and provide the cooling fluid to the stator during operation of the gas turbine engine.

A center plug includes an inner skin, the inner skin extending along an axial centerline; an outer skin positioned radially outside the inner skin; a forward bulkhead connected to and extending radially outward from the inner skin; an aft bulkhead connected to and extending radially outward from the inner skin; and an acoustic panel, the acoustic panel including a first sheet having a first plurality of perforated walls and a first plurality of non-perforated walls, a second sheet having a second plurality of perforated walls and a second plurality of non-perforated walls, the first sheet being sandwiched together with the second sheet to form an N-shaped structure having a combined plurality of perforated walls and a combined plurality of non-perforated walls.
