A component includes at least one wall having an inner portion and an outer portion. A number of pins extend between the inner and outer portions of the wall. The pins define a mesh cooling arrangement having a number of flow channels. A number of dimples are located in at least one of the inner and outer portions of the wall. The component may also include a number of turbulators disposed on at least one of the inner and outer portions of the wall.

A turbine airfoil includes pressure and suction sidewalls extending in chord between leading and trailing edges and in span between a root and a tip. A septum is spaced between the sidewalls to define two cooling circuits on opposite sides of the septum which converge between the leading and trailing edges. An array of pins extends inwardly from the pressure sidewall at a discharge end of the circuits, and the pins decrease in length to conform with the converging circuit.

Disclosed herein is a method comprising creating a weld pool using a laser; wherein the weld pool is created on a part of a turbine; and wherein the weld pool comprises molten metal or ceramic derived as a result of a heat interaction between the laser and the part of the turbine; adding a metal or a ceramic powder or a wire filler to the melt pool; and modifying the part of the turbine in a manner that results in a change of about 0.005 to about 50 volume percent in the part of the turbine, while improving the aerodynamic efficiency of the turbine in an amount of about 0.1 to about 5 percent over a corresponding unmodified turbine.

A component includes at least one wall having an inner portion and an outer portion. A number of pins extend between the inner and outer portions. The pins define a mesh cooling arrangement with a number of flow channels. The inner portion of the wall defines a number of dimples. A method for forming a number of cooling holes in a component is described. The component has at least one wall with inner and outer portions. The inner portion defines a number of dimples. The method includes centering a drilling tool on a dimple, drilling at least one impingement cooling hole through the inner portion of the wall at the dimple using the drilling tool, and repeating the centering and drilling steps for a number of dimples to drill a number of impingement cooling holes in the inner portion of the wall.

A system for producing at least one trench to improve film cooling in a sample is provided. The system includes at least one laser source outputting at least one pulsed laser beam. The pulsed laser beam includes a pulse duration including a range less than about 50 μs, an energy per pulse having a range less than about 0.1 Joule, and a repetition rate with a range greater than about 1000 Hz. The system also includes a control subsystem coupled to the laser source, the control subsystem configured to synchronize a position of the sample with the pulse duration and energy level in order to selectively remove at least one of a thermal barrier coating, a bondcoat and a substrate metal in the sample to form the at least one trench.

A turbine stage includes a row of airfoils joined to corresponding platforms to define flow passages therebetween. Each airfoil includes opposite pressure and suction sides and extends in chord between opposite leading and trailing edges. Each platform has a scalloped flow surface including a bulge adjoining the pressure side adjacent the leading edge, and a bowl adjoining the suction side aft of the leading edge.

A turbine airfoil includes opposite pressure and suction sides joined together at leading and trailing edges. An outwardly convex nose bridge bridges the pressure and suction sides behind the leading edge, and is integrally joined to a complementary thermally insulating shield spaced therefrom to define a bridge channel. The shield includes the leading edge and wraps laterally aft around the nose bridge along both the pressure and suction sides.

A wall adapted for use in a gas turbine engine between a first and a hotter second fluid includes a first side over which is flowable the first fluid, and an opposite second side over which is flowable the second fluid. An elongate slot extends inwardly from the second side and is disposed in flow communication with a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart holes extending inwardly from the first side. The holes are disposed at a compound angle relative to the second side for discharging the first fluid obliquely into the slot and at a shallow discharge angle from the slot along the second side. The holes are also disposed in converging pairs to impinge together in the slot the first fluid channeled therethrough. In a preferred embodiment, the slot has an aft surface including a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart grooves extending from the holes to the wall second side.

A component includes a substrate having outer and inner surfaces, where the inner surface defines at least one hollow, interior space. The outer surface defines pressure side and suction side walls, which are joined together at leading and trailing edges of the component. The outer surface defines one or more grooves that extend at least partially along the pressure or suction side walls in a vicinity of the trailing edge. Each groove is in fluid communication with a respective hollow, interior space. The component further includes a coating disposed over at least a portion of the outer substrate surface. The coating comprises at least a structural coating that extends over the groove(s), such that the groove(s) and the structural coating together define one or more channels for cooling the trailing edge. A method of forming cooling channels in the vicinity of the trailing edge is also provided.

A manufacturing method includes forming one or more grooves in a component that comprises a substrate with an outer surface. The substrate has at least one interior space, and each groove extends at least partially along the substrate and has a base. The manufacturing method further includes forming one or more access holes through the base of a respective groove, to connect the groove in fluid communication with the respective hollow interior space. The manufacturing method further includes forming at least one connecting groove in the component, such that each connecting groove intersects at least a subset of the one or more grooves. The manufacturing method further includes disposing a coating over at least a portion of the outer surface of the substrate, such that the groove(s) and the coating together define one or more channels for cooling the component. The coating does not completely bridge the connecting groove, such that the connecting groove at least partially defines an exit region for the respective cooling channel(s).
