A method for operating a gas turbine engine includes compressing an air stream in a compressor and generating a post combustion gas by combusting a compressed air stream exiting from the compressor in a combustor. The post combustion gas is expanded in a first turbine. The expanded combustion gas exiting from the first turbine is split into a first stream and a second stream. The first stream of the expanded combustion gas is combusted in a reheat combustor. The reheat combustor is cooled using the second stream of the expanded combustion gas.

A flame stabilizer is in fluid communication with a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The flame stabilizer has a body with an aerodynamic shape that creates a flow recirculation zone by injection of fluid through a plurality of holes in the body of the flame stabilizer. The aerodynamic shape of the body reduces pressure loss in the combustor, particularly when no fuel is being provided to the combustor. In addition, the magnitude of the flow recirculation zone can be modulated by selectively adjusting the flow rate of fluid through the holes, or by selectively adjusting the size of the holes.

A thermal inspection method is provided for a component comprising at least one complex internal passage arrangement defining at least one opening. The thermal inspection method includes flowing a fluid through the at least one complex internal passage arrangement. The fluid has an initial temperature that differs from an initial temperature of the component.

A turbine airfoil includes a leading edge having a concave cooling flow passage. An apex of the concave cooling flow passage divides the flow passage into adjacent regions. The turbine airfoil includes a first plurality of turbulators disposed in one of the adjacent regions, and a second plurality of turbulators disposed in the other of the adjacent regions. The first and second pluralities of turbulators are positioned relative to one another to divert cooling flow in opposing swirl streams that recombine along the apex and to effect a desired heat transfer and pressure loss.
