Abstract: A rotary component for a gas turbine engine defining a central axis extending along an axial direction, a radial direction extending perpendicular to the axial direction, and a circumferential direction perpendicular to both the central axis and the radial direction. The rotary component includes a plurality of rotor blades operably coupled to a rotating shaft extending along the central axis and an outer casing arranged exterior to the plurality of rotor blades in the radial direction and defining an annular gap between a tip of each of the plurality of rotor blades and the outer casing. The outer casing includes a plurality of features on an interior surface of the outer casing. A first feature of the feature(s) defines a first casing thickness, and a second feature positioned at least partially circumferentially or axially from the first feature defines a second casing thickness different than the first casing thickness.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of managing negative incidence of an airfoil are provided. The apparatus includes a row of vane pairs including a first row of main vanes extending radially inwardly from a stationary casing member and spaced circumferentially about a first axial location of the stationary casing member. The apparatus also includes a second row of auxiliary vanes extending radially inwardly from the stationary casing member and spaced circumferentially about a second axial location of the stationary casing member. The apparatus also includes a flow channel defined between a pressure side of each auxiliary vane and a suction side of an adjacent main vane proximate a leading edge of the adjacent main vane.

Abstract: A turbine blade is described herein, the turbine blade including a blade root, a blade tip, and an airfoil extending between the blade root and the blade tip. The airfoil has opposite pressure and suction sides extending between a forward leading edge and an aft trailing edge of the airfoil, and a maximum thickness located between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The blade tip includes a winglet extending laterally outward from at least one of the pressure side and the suction side from a leading point between the leading edge and the maximum thickness aftward to a trailing point between the maximum thickness and the trailing edge.
