Abstract: A turbine airfoil apparatus includes: an airfoil including a concave pressure sidewall and a convex suction sidewall joined together at a leading edge and at a trailing edge; an endwall that projects laterally outwardly from the airfoil at one spanwise end thereof, the endwall having an outer surface facing the airfoil and an opposing inner surface; a plenum defined within the endwall between the inner and outer surfaces wherein the plenum is forked in plan view, with at least two branches, each branch terminating at a closed end, each branch having a throat disposed at its upstream end, wherein each throat has a relatively constricted flow area for increasing flow velocity; and at least one film cooling hole passing through the outer surface and communicating with the plenum.

Abstract: An airfoil for a turbine engine includes an outer wall bounding an interior and defining a pressure side and a suction side, the outer wall extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a chord-wise direction, and also extending radially between a root and a tip to define a span-wise direction. At least one cooling conduit can be formed in the interior of the airfoil, and a tip rail can project from the tip in the span-wise direction.

Abstract: A method of using additive manufacturing to form or print a component based on an original model of a component, where the geometry of the original model is compensated to form a compensated model. The compensated model can be used to form or print the component. The printed component as a final model can then be compared to the original model.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine comprises a cooling circuit defined within the airfoil providing a flow of cooling fluid within the airfoil. The cooling circuit exhausts the flow of cooling fluid out a slot opening comprising an airfoil element. The slot opening further defines an acceleration zone and a deceleration zone to meter the flow of cooling fluid within the airfoil.
