Abstract: Various geometries for a trailing edge cooling system for a turbine blade. The trailing edge cooling system may include a plurality of cooling circuits extending at least partially along a radial length of a trailing edge of the turbine blade. Each cooling circuit may include an outward leg extending axially toward the trailing edge, and a plurality of turn legs in fluid communication with the outward leg. The plurality of turn legs may be positioned adjacent the trailing edge. Each cooling circuit may also include a return leg positioned adjacent the outward leg and extending axially from the trailing edge. The return leg may include a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may have a first width, and a second may have a second width that is greater than the first width of the first portion.

Abstract: A turbine blade airfoil including cooling circuits is disclosed. The airfoil may include a first pressure side cavity positioned adjacent a pressure side of the airfoil, where the first pressure side cavity is configured to receive a coolant. The airfoil may also include at least one distinct pressure side cavity positioned adjacent to and fluidly coupled to the first pressure side cavity, a trailing edge positioned between the pressure and a suction side, and a trailing edge cooling system positioned adjacent the trailing edge and in direct fluid communication with the first pressure side cavity. The trailing edge cooling system may be configured to receive a portion of the coolant from the first pressure side cavity.
