Abstract: A centrifugal separator for removing particles from a fluid stream includes an angular velocity increaser configured to increase the angular velocity of a fluid stream, a flow splitter configured to split the fluid stream to form a concentrated-particle stream and a reduced-particle stream, and an exit conduit configured to receive the reduced-particle stream. An inducer assembly for a turbine engine includes an inducer with a flow passage having an inducer inlet and an inducer outlet in fluid communication with a turbine section of the engine, and a particle separator, which includes a particle concentrator that receives a compressed stream from a compressor section of the engine and a flow splitter. A turbine engine includes a cooling air flow circuit which supplies a fluid stream to a turbine section of the engine for cooling, a particle separator located within the cooling air flow circuit, and an inducer forming a portion of the cooling air flow circuit in fluid communication with the particle separator. A method of cooling a rotating blade of a turbine engine having an inducer includes directing a cooling fluid stream from a portion of turbine engine toward the rotating blade, separating particles from the cooling fluid stream by passing the cooling fluid stream through a inertial separator, accelerating a reduced-particle stream emitted from the inertial separator to the speed of the rotating blade, and orienting the reduced-particle stream by emitting the reduced-particle stream from the inertial separator into a cooling passage in the inducer.

Abstract: A blade for a gas turbine engine comprises an airfoil having a pressure side and a suction side, with a root and a tip wall. The pressure side and suction side extend beyond the tip wall to define a tip channel, defining a plurality of internal and external corners. The corners comprise fillets to define a thickness being greater than the thickness for the pressure, suction, or tip walls. A film hole can extend through the fillet, such that the length of the film hole at the fillet can be increased to define an increased length-to-diameter ratio for the film hole to improve film cooling through the film hole.

Abstract: An airfoil comprises at least one wall defining a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, and a suction side extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The airfoil is curved in three dimensions and has one or more cavities defined by an interior surface of the at least one wall. A plurality of cooling film holes extending between the cavity and at least one cooling trench located on at least one of the pressure side and the suction side, spaced from the leading edge. The at least one trench has a floor spaced from an outer surface of the airfoil. The plurality of cooling film holes extend through the floor at an angle other than perpendicular.

Abstract: A component assembly for a gas turbine engine having a combustor and defining a core air flowpath includes a first wall and a second wall. The first wall is configured for at least partially defining the core air flowpath at a location downstream of a combustion chamber defined by the combustor of the gas turbine engine. Additionally, the second wall is also configured for at least partially defining the core air flowpath at a location downstream of the combustion chamber, and is located opposite the core air flowpath of the first wall. The second wall includes a plurality of fins extending towards the first wall along the radial direction and spaced along the circumferential direction.
