  • the blade root can in particular be designed as a so-called fir tree root and have one or more ribs, which engage behind respective undercuts of a groove in the rotor and thus fix the rotor blade, in particular radially, on the rotor.
  • a (in the mounted state radially inner) platform which defines a flow channel for a working medium of the turbomachine radially inward.
  • Directional data such as axial, radial and circumferential direction generally relate in particular to the mounting position of the blade in the turbomachine.
  • the inner platform has one or two opposing axial flanges to form a labyrinth seal with adjacent baffles.
  • a pocket is arranged on both circumferentially opposite sides of the blade. At least one of them is defined in the axial direction by two axially spaced walls, which extend from the blade side facing away from the platform to the blade root and radially inward and are referred to below for compact representation as the first and second wall.
  • the first wall may be an upstream or downstream wall (relative to a flow direction during operation of the turbomachine).

  • the outer side of the first wall diverges as it progresses in the circumferential direction on an adjacent blade or on an end face of the pocket or wall in the circumferential direction in the axial direction. Accordingly, the outer side converges or tapers from an end face of the first wall in the circumferential direction onto the blade towards axially inward direction or towards the pocket.
  • the second, axially opposite wall can also have an outer side facing away from the pocket, which is inclined in one or more, preferably - at least substantially - all cross sections perpendicular to the radial longitudinal axis in the circumferential direction away from the blade outwardly or in progression in Circumferential direction diverges on an adjacent blade or on an end face of the pocket or wall in the circumferential direction in the axial direction.
