Abstract

A rotary machine blade ( 31 ) equipped with a clearance flow suppression blade section ( 34 ), the lean angle of which has one or more inflection points, and which is formed such that when the direction from a positive-pressure surface ( 31 a ) to a negative-pressure surface ( 31 b ) is taken as the normal direction, an inflection point (P 1 ) of the lean angle positioned farthest toward the blade end ( 33 ) changes from the negative to the positive direction in the direction away from the blade end ( 33 ).

Claims (32)

1. A rotary machine blade comprising:

a clearance flow suppressing blade portion that includes at least two inflection points at which a lean angle at an intersection point between a camber line in a cross section of the clearance flow suppressing blade portion and an imaginary straight line extending from an axis of rotation in a radial direction and formed therebetween is 0 degree,

wherein,

the clearance flow suppressing blade portion has a positive pressure surface and a negative pressure surface,

the at least two inflection points includes a first inflection point located closest to a blade end,

the lean angle includes a positive lean angle leaning in a direction of the positive pressure surface with respect to the imaginary straight line and a negative lean angle leaning in a direction of the negative pressure surface with respect to the imaginary straight line,

the positive lean angle is formed at the intersection point between the first inflection point and the blade end, and the negative lean angle is formed at the intersection point away from the blade end with respect to the first inflection point,

wherein in the clearance flow suppressing blade portion, the camber line is continuously curved, and the positive lean angle gradually decreases as the intersection point nears from the blade end to the first inflection point.

2. The rotary machine blade according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the clearance flow suppressing blade portion, the negative lean angle gradually increases as becoming closer to an inside in a radial direction from the first inflection point.

3. The rotary machine blade according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first inflection point is formed at least in a region having a span height of 70% or more.

4. The rotary machine blade according to claim 1 ,

wherein the clearance flow suppressing blade portion is formed in at least a part between a leading edge and a trailing edge of a blade.

5. The rotary machine blade according to claim 4 ,

wherein the clearance flow suppressing blade portion is formed in a range of 0 to 40% of a distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the blade.

6. The rotary machine blade according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a curved portion where at least a part of the negative pressure surface is formed in a recessed shape.

7. The rotary machine blade according to claim 1 ,

wherein the positive pressure surface or the negative pressure surface is formed in a linear shape.

8. The rotary machine blade according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first inflection point is formed at least in a region having a span height of 70% or more.

9. The rotary machine blade according to claim 2 ,

wherein the clearance flow suppressing blade portion is formed in at least a part between a leading edge and a trailing edge of a blade.

10. The rotary machine blade according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a curved portion where at least a part of the negative pressure surface is formed in a recessed shape.

11. The rotary machine blade according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a curved portion where at least a part of the negative pressure surface is formed in a recessed shape.

12. The rotary machine blade according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a curved portion where at least a part of the negative pressure surface is formed in a recessed shape.

13. The rotary machine blade according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a curved portion where at least a part of the negative pressure surface is formed in a recessed shape.
