A turbine blade for a turbine engine having a tip with one or more vortex generators for reducing tip leakage during operation of the turbine engine. The vortex generators may extend radially outward from the radially outer surface of the tip wall. The vortex generator may be positioned between a rib extending radially outward from the radially outer surface of the tip wall and an intersection between the outer surface of the tip wall and an outer surface on the pressure side. The vortex generators may include a base and three sides forming a triangular point with a first side having a larger surface are than second and third sides. One or more film cooling holes may be formed in the tip wall to provide cooling air to the tip. In one embodiment, film cooling holes may be positioned in one or more vortex generators.

A turbine engine airfoil structure including an airfoil adapted to be supported to extend across a gas passage for a hot working gas in a turbine engine. The airfoil structure further includes a platform structure located at one end of the airfoil and positioned at a location forming a boundary of the gas passage. The platform structure includes a platform member including a gas side surface extending generally perpendicular from the airfoil at a junction with the airfoil, and providing a structural connection to the airfoil. The platform structure further includes a separately formed platform cover attached to the platform member at the gas side surface. The platform cover extends from a location adjacent to one of the sidewalls of the airfoil, and includes an outer surface located for contact with the hot working gas passing through the gas path.

A diffuser apparatus in a turbomachine is provided comprising a diffuser structure and stabilizing structure. The diffuser structure includes inner and outer walls defining a flow passageway through which gases flow and diffuse such that kinetic energy is reduced and pressure is increased in the gases as they move through the passageway. The stabilizing structure stabilizes a separated gas recirculation zone.

A turbine blade is provided comprising: an airfoil including upper and lower ends; a root coupled to the airfoil lower end; a shroud coupled to the airfoil upper end; and at least one sealing rail extending radially outwardly from an upper surface of the shroud and extending generally along a circumferential length of the shroud. The sealing rail may comprise a mid-section, opposing end sections and at least one intermediate section located between the mid-section and one of the opposing end sections. An axial thickness of the rail may vary.

A method of assembling a seal in a horizontal split plane gas turbine engine including providing a rotor assembly including a turbine blade assembly defining a forward face and a seal ring extending axially from the forward face. The rotor assembly is positioned extending through a lower compressor casing and a lower turbine casing, the positioning including tilting the rotor assembly at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis for the engine. An upper turbine casing is positioned over the tilted rotor assembly, and the upper and lower turbine casings define a circumferentially extending seal groove. The rotor assembly is moved in an axially forward direction to position the seal ring in axially overlapping relation within the seal groove. The longitudinal axis of the rotor assembly is then aligned with the longitudinal axis of the turbine engine to further position the seal ring within the seal groove.

A seal structure is provided for preventing leakage of gases across a gap between first and second components in a turbine engine. The seal structure is adapted to be received in first and second adjacent slots provided in the first and second components. The seal structure may comprise: a wear resistant layer; and a deformable layer defined by a material having one of a varying density and a varying porosity.

A centrifugal particle separator is provided for removing particles such as microscopic dirt or dust particles from the compressed cooling air prior to reaching and cooling the turbine blades or turbine vanes of a turbine engine. The centrifugal particle separator structure has a substantially cylindrical body with an inlet arranged on a periphery of the substantially cylindrical body. Cooling air enters centrifugal particle separator through the separator inlet port having a linear velocity. When the cooling air impinges the substantially cylindrical body, the linear velocity is transformed into a rotational velocity, separating microscopic particles from the cooling air. Microscopic dust particles exit the centrifugal particle separator through a conical outlet and returned to a working medium.
