Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention include turbine blades and systems employing such blades. Various particular embodiments include a turbine blade having: an airfoil having: a suction side; a pressure side opposing the suction side; a leading edge spanning between the pressure side and the suction side; and a trailing edge opposing the leading edge and spanning between the pressure side and the suction side, wherein the trailing edge defines a radial throat distribution between the airfoil and an adjacent airfoil; and a base connected with a first end of the airfoil along the suction side, pressure side, trailing edge and the leading edge.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a rotor blade for a gas turbine engine. The rotor blade includes a platform comprising a radially inner surface, an undulating radially outer surface, a leading edge portion, a trailing edge portion, a pressure-side slash face, and a suction-side slash face. An airfoil extends outwardly from the undulating radially outer surface of the platform to an airfoil tip. A connection portion extends radially inwardly from the radially inner surface of the platform. The platform, the airfoil, and the connection portion collectively define a cooling circuit extending from an inlet in the connection portion through the airfoil to a plurality of outlet plena in the platform. Two or more outlet plena of the plurality of outlet plena are spaced equidistant from the undulating radially outer surface of the platform.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, an airfoil for a rotor blade of a gas turbine includes a normalized pressure side wall portion thickness, a normalized suction side wall portion thickness, a normalized leading edge wall thickness, and a normalized trailing edge wall thickness. The values of theses thicknesses define the pressure side wall portion thickness, the suction side wall portion thickness, the leading edge wall thickness, and the trailing edge wall thickness, which improve heat transfer, flow distribution, and mechanical load transfer.

Abstract: A turbine airfoil includes a leading edge and a trailing edge. Also included is a cooling channel extending in a radial direction and tapering inwardly toward the trailing edge, the cooling channel at least partially defined by a pressure side face and a suction side face. Further included is a first plurality of turbulators protruding from one of the pressure side face and the suction side face to define a first height, the first plurality of turbulators extending toward the trailing edge of the turbine airfoil and spaced radially from each other. Yet further included is a second plurality of turbulators protruding from one of the pressure side face and the suction side face to define a second height that is less than the first height, the second plurality of turbulators extending toward the trailing edge of the turbine airfoil and spaced radially from each other.
