Abstract: A blade for a turbine engine with a wall separating a cooling fluid flow and a hot gas fluid flow and having a heated surface along which the hot gas fluid flow flows and a cooled surface facing the cooling fluid flow. A plurality of cooling holes each having a passage extending between an inlet at the cooled surface and an outlet at the heated surface. The outlet extending between an upstream end and a downstream end with respect to the hot gas fluid flow to define a distance, the passage defining a centerline forming a first angle (θ) with the heated surface.

Abstract: Aspects generally relate to a method of forming a plexus within an additively-manufactured component. The method includes forming a fluid passage in the plexus by serially forming layers of material along a build direction to form a column defining the fluid passage along a first direction within an interior of a turbine engine component.

Abstract: A leachable casting core and method of manufacture may include a plurality of legs configured to establish a plurality of internal flow channels of a cast component. Tie bars, with a first tie bar end and a second tie bar end opposite thereof, may couple to at least two of the plurality of legs. At least one of the tie bars may be oriented to form a linking cavity within the cast component between the internal flow channels. The linking cavity may serve as an obstruction to fluid communication through the linking cavity.

Abstract: An airfoil for a turbine engine can include an outer wall bounding an interior and extending in a chord-wise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and also extending radially between a root and a tip. A tip rail including at least one tip cooling cavity can project from the tip, and cooling holes can be provided in the tip rail.
