Abstract:
A cooling circuit for a multi-wall blade according to an embodiment includes: a pressure side cavity with a surface adjacent a pressure side of the multi-wall blade; a suction side cavity with a surface adjacent a suction side of the multi-wall blade; a central cavity disposed between the pressure side and suction side cavities, the central cavity including no surfaces adjacent the pressure and suction sides of the multi-wall blade; a first leading edge cavity with surfaces adjacent the pressure and suction sides of the multi-wall blade, the first leading edge cavity located forward of the central cavity; a second leading edge cavity located forward of the first leading edge cavity; at least one impingement opening for fluidly coupling the first leading edge cavity to the second leading edge cavity; and at least one channel for fluidly coupling the central cavity to a tip of the multi-wall blade.
