Abstract: An airfoil section has an airfoil wall that defines a leading end, a trailing end, and first and second sides that join the leading end and the trailing end. The airfoil wall circumscribes an internal core cavity. A skincore passage is embedded in the first side of the airfoil wall between inner and outer portions of the first side of airfoil wall. The skincore passage defines a passage forward edge and a passage aft edge. The first side of the airfoil wall has a portion that tapers in thickness at the passage aft edge. A cooling passage is embedded in the second side of the airfoil wall between inner and outer portions of the second side of airfoil wall. The inner portion of the second side of the airfoil wall includes a protrusion located across the internal core cavity from the portion of the first side that tapers in thickness.

Abstract: A method of testing flow in an airfoil includes isolating a first cooling passage network of the airfoil by applying plugs to internal inlet orifices of the other ones of the cooling passage networks in the airfoil. The plugs block flow from an internal core cavity of the airfoil into the other ones of the cooling passage networks. The inlet orifices of the first cooling passage network are left open. A test flow is then applied to the internal core cavity and flows through the inlet orifices of the first cooling passage network.

Abstract: An airfoil includes leading and trailing edges; first and second sides extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge, each side having an exterior surface; a core passage located between the first and second sides and the leading and trailing edges; and a wall structure located between the core passage and the exterior surface of the first side. The wall structure includes a plurality of cooling fluid inlets communicating with the core passage for receiving cooling fluid from the core passage, a plurality of cooling fluid outlets on the exterior surface of the first side for expelling cooling fluid and forming a cooling film along the exterior surface of the first side, and a plurality of cooling passages communicating with the plurality of cooling fluid inlets and the plurality of cooling fluid outlets. At least a portion of one cooling passage extends between adjacent cooling fluid outlets.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure include a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section. The combustor has a radially outer surface that defines a diffuser chamber radially outwardly of the combustor. The turbine section has a high pressure turbine first stage blade that has an outer tip, and a blade outer air seal positioned radially outwardly of the outer tip. A tap for tapping air has been compressed by the compressor and is passed through a heat exchanger. The air downstream of the heat exchanger passes through at least one pipe and into a manifold radially outward of the blade outer air seal, and then passes across the blade outer air seal to cool the blade outer air seal.
