Abstract:
According to one aspect of the invention, a turbine airfoil includes a first cavity inside the turbine airfoil configured to receive a fluid and a second cavity inside the turbine airfoil. The turbine airfoil also includes a passage inside the turbine airfoil that provides fluid communication between the first and second cavities, wherein the passage includes a curved portion configured to separate particulates from the fluid as the fluid flows through the passage.
