Cooling-air injection casing for a turbomachine turbine
A cooling-air injection casing for cooling a bladed rotor disc of a turbine, in particular a high-pressure turbine, this casing extending around a longitudinal axis (X-X′) and being traversed by at least one channel forming an air injector, the channel including an inlet mouth and an outlet mouth. The channel includes a primary section which extends in an axial plane (P) from the inlet mouth to an elbow, and a secondary section which extends from this elbow to the outlet mouth, the secondary section having a progressive variation of its orientation with a tangential component between the elbow and the outlet mouth, in that the channel has a reduction in cross section between the inlet mouth and a neck, and in that the channel has at least one corrugation in its primary section, such that the outlet mouth is situated closer to the longitudinal axis (X-X′) than the inlet mouth.
