Abstract:
A blade for an axial-flow turbomachine with a gap-side blade area I which transits into a free blade end and with a hub-side or casing-side blade area II, respectively. Blade 3 forms a flow line profile section with leading edge VK and trailing edge HK which establish forward end point V and rearward end point H, respectively, by a tangent normal to and intersecting with the profile chord, with the distance between these end points being profile depth L. Blade 3 includes an enlargement of profile depth L at a tip of the free blade end which is at least +10 percent and decreases to zero in the blade central section, with the values being non-negative throughout, with the profile enlargement at trailing edge HK being larger than zero at the tip in the gap-side peripheral section.

Abstract:
A fluid-flow machine has at least one row of blades 5 having blade ends moving relative to one of a hub 3 and a casing 1, with a gap 11 positioned therebetween. At least one groove 7 extends essentially in a circumferential direction of the machine is in an area of the gap 11 along at least part of the circumference, with the extension of the groove 7 in the circumferential direction being large as compared to the extension of the groove 7 in the meridional flow direction. A cross-sectional area of the groove 7, in meridional view of the fluid-flow machine, essentially departs from a parallelogrammic shape and, due to its contour, is inclined in an upstream direction. A centroid of the groove cross-sectional area is provided upstream of the center of the groove aperture 12 on the main flow path.
