Abstract:
A turbomachine includes a plurality of blades, and each blade has an airfoil. The turbomachine includes opposing walls that define a pathway into which a fluid flow is receivable to flow through the pathway. A throat distribution is measured at a narrowest region in the pathway between adjacent blades, at which adjacent blades extend across the pathway between the opposing walls to aerodynamically interact with the fluid flow. The airfoil defines the throat distribution, and the throat distribution reduces aerodynamic loss and improves aerodynamic loading on each airfoil.
