Abstract

A turbine blade according to the invention includes a first wall surface facing a cooling passage through which cooling air flows; a second wall surface facing a working fluid passage through which a working fluid flows; a communication hole establishing communication between the cooling passage and the working fluid passage; and a projection provided on the downstream side of the flowing direction of the cooling air in the opening of the communication hole formed in the first wall surface, the projection protruding from the first wall surface toward the cooling passage. The projection includes a slope section formed on the first wall surface that ascends in the direction opposite the flowing direction of the cooling air toward the cooling passage and a curved section formed as a convex section on the side of the cooling passage, the curved section extending along the opening in the form of an arc.

Claims (10)

1. A turbine blade comprising:

a first wall surface facing a cooling passage through which cooling air flows;

a second wall surface facing a working fluid passage through which a working fluid flows;

a communication hole establishing communication between the cooling passage and the working fluid passage;

a projection provided on a downstream side of the flowing direction of the cooling air in an opening of the communication hole, the opening being formed in the first wall surface, the projection protruding from the first wall surface toward the cooling passage, and

a curved section provided adjacent to the projection in a circumferential direction of the opening, the curved section being smoothly connected from the first wall surface to the opening,

wherein the projection and the curved section are in contact with the first wall surface on a same plane.

2. The turbine blade of claim 1 , wherein the projection includes a slope section formed on the first wall surface, the slope section ascending in a direction opposite the flowing direction of the cooling air toward the cooling passage, and a convex curved section formed on the cooling passage side, the convex curved section being connected to the opening in a form of an arc.

3. The turbine blade of claim 1 , wherein the opening is ellipse-shaped.

4. A gas turbine comprising blade stages comprising the turbine blade of claim 1 .
