Abstract:
Airfoils having a body with leading and trailing edges and a first serpentine cavity within the body enabling a cooling flow in a first direction within the airfoil body, a second serpentine cavity fluidly connected to the first serpentine cavity enabling a cooling flow in a second direction, and a third serpentine cavity fluidly connected to the second serpentine cavity enabling a cooling flow in at least one of the first direction or a third direction. A resupply cavity is fluidly connected to the third serpentine cavity to supply a resupply air to the third serpentine cavity, a junction at the location of the second serpentine cavity, the resupply cavity and the third serpentine cavity, and a flow control feature arranged to turn the serpentine cooling air from the second direction and/or prevent resupply air backflow.
