Patent Document 1 discloses a cooling promoting structure, in which a plurality of partition plates are provided in an inner portion of a hollow turbine blade, to which cooling air is supplied, at equal intervals in a height direction of a blade, and a lattice structure is formed between the partition plates. In addition, in the descriptions below, “height” indicates a dimension in the height direction of the blade, that is, a dimension in a direction perpendicular to a rotary shaft of an engine. - In the cooling promoting structure disclosed in
Patent Document 1, the cooling air flowing to a pressure surface side of a space formed between the partition plates collides with the partition plates and is extracted from a hole portion of the lattice structure. Accordingly, the cooling air flows into a suction surface side of the space. In addition, the cooling air flowing to a suction surface side of the space collides with the partition plates and is extracted from a different hole portion. Accordingly, the cooling air flows into the pressure surface side of the space. According to the cooling promoting structure, when the cooling air flowing along the pressure surface collides with the partition plates and a flow direction of the cooling air is changed so that the cooling air flows into the suction surface, the cooling air collides with a blade wall of the suction surface side of the space and the blade wall is impinge cooled. Accordingly, the cooling effectiveness is increased. - [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. 2008-64002
- In general, a turbine blade is made of cast metal. Accordingly, in order to form a cooling promoting structure which is an internal structure of the turbine blade, it is necessary to use a core corresponding to the cooling promoting structure. Since a lattice structure is a complicated structure, the core is also complicated, and it is difficult to maintain the strength of the core. Accordingly, manufacturing of the core needs to be performed carefully.
- In the cooling promoting structure disclosed in
Patent Document 1, there are excellent effects in that the cooling effectiveness increases. However, it is not easy to manufacture the cooling promoting structure. This is because a plurality of partition plates are provided, the core which corresponds to a lattice structure and has low strength is formed in a comb shape since the core requires a gap corresponding to the partition plate, and it is not easy to maintain the strength of the core. - In addition, in a case where the cooling promoting structure is applied to a structure other than the turbine blade and the structure is made of cast metal, similarly, it is not easy to ensure the strength of the core, and it is difficult to manufacture the structure.
- The disclosure is made in consideration of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a cooling promoting structure capable of increasing cooling effectiveness of impingement cooling and enhancing the manufacturability of a product where the cooling promoting structure is used.
- According to a first aspect of the disclosure, there is provided a cooling promoting structure which is provided in a cooling flow path which is formed between a first member and a second member disposed to face each other, including a plurality of first flow path walls which are erected on the first member and form first flow paths on the first member side of the cooling flow path, and a plurality of second flow path walls which are erected on the second member and form second flow paths on the second member side of the cooling flow path, in which each of the first flow path walls includes a first collision surface which collides with cooling gas flowing through the first flow path, each of the second flow path walls includes a second collision surface which collides with cooling gas flowing through the second flow path, and the first flow path and the second flow path are connected to each other at a location where the first collision surface and the second collision surface are disposed.
- According to a second aspect of the disclosure, in the first aspect, all the first flow paths and second flow paths communicate with each other.
- According to a third aspect of the disclosure, in the first aspect or the second aspect, the first flow path wall, the second flow path wall, the first flow path, and the second flow path have a mirror symmetrical shape having a center about a symmetrical axis connecting an upstream side and a downstream side of the cooling flow path, as a unit shape, and a plurality of the unit shapes are arranged in directions orthogonal to the symmetrical axis.
- According to a fourth aspect of the disclosure, in the third aspect, the first flow path walls and the second flow path walls are formed in a wave form having the same width, and are arranged at intervals equal to the width in the symmetrical axis direction.
- According to a fifth aspect of the disclosure, in the fourth aspect, the width of a connection opening at the connection location between the first flow path and the second flow path is narrower than each of the widths of the first flow path and the second flow path.
- According to a sixth aspect of the disclosure, in any one of the first aspect to the fifth aspect, the first collision surfaces or the second collision surfaces are provided at all connection locations between the first flow paths and the second flow paths.
- Advantageous Effects of Disclosure
- According to the disclosure, if the cooling gas flowing through the first flow paths collides with the collision surfaces (first collision surfaces) of the first flow path walls, the cooling gas flows into the second flow paths and impinge cools the second member. In addition, if the cooling gas flowing through the second flow paths collides with the collision surfaces (second collision surfaces) of the second flow path walls, the cooling gas flows into the first flow paths and impinge cools the first member. Therefore, according to the disclosure, it is possible to impinge cool the first member and the second member without providing the partition plates disclosed in
Patent Document 1, and it is possible to increase the cooling effectiveness. - In addition, according to the disclosure, since the partition plates are not required, it is possible to increase the strength of a core which is used when a product applied by the disclosure is cast.
- That is, according to the disclosure, it is possible to prevent the core from being formed in a comb shape, and it is possible to enhance the manufacturability of the product applied by the disclosure.
- Therefore, according to the disclosure, it is possible to increase the cooling effectiveness of the impingement cooling, and it is possible to enhance the manufacturability of the product applied by the disclosure.

FIG. 1A is a perspective view of aturbine blade 1 including acooling promoting structure 10 of the present embodiment.FIG. 1B is a sectional view taken along A-A ofFIG. 1A . Moreover, inFIG. 1A , in order to show the cooling promotingstructure 10 of the present embodiment so as to be recognizable, a portion of a pressure surface of theturbine blade 1 is cut and shown. - In the present embodiment, the
turbine blade 1 is a rotor blade of a turbine which is mounted on a jet engine. Theturbine blade 1 includes adovetail 1 a which is inserted into a disk (rotary body), aplatform 1 b which is formed on thedovetail 1 a, and ablade portion 1 c which is formed on theplatform 1 b. - As shown in
FIG. 1B , theblade portion 1 c is an airfoil portion in which the sectional shape includes aleading edge 1 ca, a trailingedge 1 cb, apressure surface 1 cc, and asuction surface 1 cd, and includes acooling flow path 1 ce in the inner portion close to the trailingedge 1 cb. In addition, thecooling flow path 1 ce includes a coolingair introduction portion 1 cf formed by theleading edge 1 ca, an openingend 1 cg formed by the trailingedge 1 cb, and anintermediate portion 1 ch which connects the coolingair introduction portion 1 cf and the openingend 1 cg to each other. - The cooling
air introduction portion 1 cf is provided to linearly extend from the lower end portion to the upper end portion of theblade portion 1 c in the height direction (up-down direction inFIG. 1A ), and a throughhole 1 d penetrating thedovetail 1 a and theplatform 1 b in the height direction of theblade portion 1 c is connected to the lower end of the coolingair introduction portion 1 cf. The openingend 1 eg is provided to be slightly close to theleading edge 1 ea further from the trailingedge 1 cb, and is open toward the trailingedge 1 cb. The openingend 1 cg also is provided to linearly extend from the lower end portion to the upper end portion of theblade portion 1 c in the up-down direction in the height direction. The height of theintermediate portion 1 ch is the same as the heights of the coolingair introduction portion 1 cf and the openingend 1 cg. - In the
cooling flow path 1 ce, first, cooling air X supplied via the throughhole 1 d flows into the coolingair introduction portion 1 cf, and the cooling air X supplied to the coolingair introduction portion 1 cf is ejected toward the trailingedge 1 cb from the openingend 1 cg via theintermediate portion 1 ch. That is, the cooling air X flows from theleading edge 1 ca side toward the trailingedge 1 cb through thecooling flow path 1 ce which is formed inside theblade portion 1 c. When the cooling air X flows through thecooling flow path 1 ce, the cooling air X absorbs heat from theblade portion 1 c and cools theblade portion 1 c. In addition, after the cooling air X is ejected from the openingend 1 eg, the cooling air X flows along thepressure surface 1 cc of theblade portion 1 c. Accordingly, theblade portion 1 c is film cooled up to the trailingedge 1 cb. - In addition, as shown in
FIG. 1B , in the portion in which thecooling flow path 1 ce is formed, a blade wall of thepressure surface 1 cc and a blade wall of thesuction surface 1 cd are disposed to face each other in a state where thecooling flow path 1 ce is interposed therebetween. That is, thecooling flow path 1 ce is formed between the blade wall of thepressure surface 1 cc and the blade wall of thesuction surface 1 cd which are disposed to face each other. Hereinafter, the blade wall of thepressure surface 1 cc is referred to as a pressure surface blade wall 21 (first member), and the blade wall of thesuction surface 1 cd is referred to as a suction surface blade wall 22 (second member). - The cooling promoting
structure 10 of the present embodiment is provided in theintermediate portion 1 ch of thecooling flow path 1 ce, and is interposed between the pressuresurface blade wall 21 and the suctionsurface blade wall 22.FIG. 2A is a perspective view showing a portion of the cooling promotingstructure 10, andFIG. 2B is a perspective view in which a portion of theFIG. 2A is further enlarged.FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the cooling promotingstructure 10.FIG. 4A is a plan view showing a portion of the cooling promotingstructure 10, andFIG. 4B is a sectional view of the cooling promotingstructure 10. InFIG. 4A , for easy viewing, hatching portions different from each other are assigned to firstflow path walls 11 and secondflow path walls 13 which are described below. - As shown in the drawings, the cooling promoting
structure 10 of the present embodiment includes the firstflow path walls 11,first flow paths 12, the secondflow path walls 13, andsecond flow paths 14. Each of the firstflow path walls 11 is erected from the pressuresurface blade wall 21 toward the suctionsurface blade wall 22, and is a wall portion having an approximately rectangular section. - As shown in
FIGS. 2A and 4A , each of the firstflow path walls 11 is formed in a wave form in which bending is repeated at a constant period. In addition, the plurality of firstflow path walls 11 are arranged in a front-rear direction of theblade portion 1 c at equal intervals. - A portion of a side surface of each of the first
flow path walls 11 is afirst collision surface 11 a on which the cooling air X flowing through thefirst flow path 12 collides with the firstflow path wall 11. Thefirst collision surface 11 a is a connection location between thefirst flow path 12 and thesecond flow path 14, and is provided at the location (location at which thefirst flow path 12 is bent) at which the cooling air X flows from thefirst flow path 12 into thesecond flow path 14. - As described above, the
first flow paths 12 are flow paths which are formed by the plurality of firstflow path walls 11 arranged at equal intervals, and are formed of gaps between the firstflow path walls 11. Since thefirst flow paths 12 are formed of the gaps between the firstflow path walls 11, similar to the firstflow path walls 11, each of thefirst flow paths 12 is formed in a wave form in which bending is repeated at a constant period. Thefirst flow path 12 is provided so as to be close to the pressuresurface blade wall 21 in a space (that is, coolingflow path 1 ce) interposed between the pressuresurface blade wall 21 and the suctionsurface blade wall 22. - Each of the second
flow path walls 13 is erected from the suctionsurface blade wall 22 toward the pressuresurface blade wall 21, and similarly to the firstflow path wall 11, is a wall portion having a rectangular section. As shown inFIG. 2A or 4A, each of the secondflow path walls 13 is formed in a wave form in which bending is repeated at a constant period. In addition, a period of the wave form formed by the secondflow path walls 13 is the same as a period of the wave form formed by the firstflow path walls 11, and a phase of the wave form formed by the secondflow path walls 13 is shifted 180° to a phase of the wave form formed by the firstflow path wall 11. In addition, the plurality of secondflow path walls 13 are arranged at equal intervals in the front-rear direction of theblade portion 1 c. Moreover, the distance in the plate thickness direction from the suctionsurface blade wall 22 to the pressuresurface blade wall 21 side surface of the secondflow path wall 13 is the same as the distance in the plate thickness from the pressuresurface blade wall 21 to the suctionsurface blade wall 22 side surface of the firstflow path wall 11. That is, the distance in the thickness direction of the first flow path wall 11 from the pressuresurface blade wall 21 is set so as to be the same as the distance in the thickness direction of the second flow path wall 13 from the suctionsurface blade wall 22 so that a boundary surface between the firstflow path wall 11 and the secondflow path wall 13 becomes a flat surface except for the connection location between thefirst flow path 12 and thesecond flow path 14. - A portion of a side surface of each of the second
flow path walls 13 is asecond collision surface 13 a on which the cooling air X flowing through thesecond flow path 14 collides with the secondflow path wall 13. Thesecond collision surface 13 a is the connection location between thefirst flow path 12 and thesecond flow path 14, and is provided at the location (location at which thesecond flow path 14 is bent) at which the cooling air X flows from thesecond flow path 14 into thefirst flow path 12. - As described above, the
second flow paths 14 are flow paths which are formed by the plurality of secondflow path walls 13 arranged at equal intervals, and are formed of gaps between the secondflow path walls 13. Since thesecond flow paths 14 are formed of the gaps between the secondflow path walls 13, similar to the secondflow path walls 13, each of thesecond flow paths 14 is formed in a wave form in which bending is repeated at a constant period. Thesecond flow path 14 is provided so as to be close to the suctionsurface blade wall 22 in the space (that is, coolingflow path 1 ce) interposed between the pressuresurface blade wall 21 and the suctionsurface blade wall 22. - As shown in
FIG. 4A , thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14 are disposed so as to overlap with each other at a plurality of locations when viewed from an approximately normal direction of thepressure surface 1 cc or thesuction surface 1 cd. Thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow path 14 are connected to each other at the portions at which thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow path 14 overlap with each other, and as a result,openings 15 are formed. All thefirst flow paths 12 andsecond flow paths 14 communicate with each other via theopenings 15. Among theopenings 15, theopenings 15 which are provided at bent portions of thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14 function asinflow openings 15 a (connection openings) through which the cooling air X flows from thefirst flow paths 12 into thesecond flow paths 14 or flows from thesecond flow paths 14 into thefirst flow paths 12. In addition, thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14 are disposed so as to completely overlap each other over the entire region of the widths of the flow paths (the widths of thefirst flow paths 12 and the widths of the second flow paths 14) in theinflow openings 15 a. That is, the width of each of theinflow openings 15 a is the same as the width of thefirst flow path 12 and the width of thesecond flow path 14. - As shown in
FIG. 2A , the firstflow path walls 11, thefirst flow paths 12, the secondflow path walls 13, and thesecond flow paths 14 are formed in wave forms which are bent at a constant period. The cooling promotingstructure 10 including the firstflow path walls 11, thefirst flow paths 12, the secondflow path walls 13, and thesecond flow paths 14 has a mirror symmetrical shape having a center about a symmetrical axis connecting an upstream side and a downstream side of thecooling flow path 1 ce, as a unit shape, and a plurality of the unit shapes are arranged in directions orthogonal to the symmetrical axis. - Each of the first
flow path walls 11 and the secondflow path walls 13 is formed in a wave form having the same width, and the first flow path walls and the second flow path walls are arranged at intervals equal to the width in the symmetrical axis direction. - As described above, the cooling promoting
structure 10 of the present embodiment includes the plurality of firstflow path walls 11 which are erected on the pressuresurface blade wall 21 and form thefirst flow paths 12 on the pressuresurface blade wall 21, and the plurality of secondflow path walls 13 which are erected on the suctionsurface blade wall 22 and form thesecond flow paths 14 on the suctionsurface blade wall 22. In addition, the firstflow path walls 11 include the first collision surfaces 11 a which collide with the cooling gas X flowing through thefirst flow paths 12, and the secondflow path walls 13 includes the second collision surfaces 13 a which collide with the cooling gas X flowing through thesecond flow paths 14. Thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14 are connected to each other via theinflow openings 15 a at the disposition locations of the first collision surfaces 11 a and the second collision surfaces 13 a. -
FIG. 5A is a plan view of a portion of a core 30 which is used when theturbine blade 1 is cast.FIG. 5B is a sectional view of thecore 30. Thecore 30 is a ceramic member which is disposed inside a mold to form the cooling promotingstructure 10 of the present embodiment when theturbine blade 1 is cast. In thecore 30, portions corresponding to the firstflow path walls 11 and the secondflow path walls 13 are hollow, and portions corresponding to thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14 are solid. The cooling promotingstructure 10 of the present embodiment does not include partition plates by which thecooling flow path 1 ce is divided in the height direction of theturbine blade 1. Accordingly, thecore 30 is not formed in a comb shape without need for hollow portions corresponding to the partition plates. - Next, effects of the cooling promoting
structure 10 of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described. - If the cooling air X is supplied to the through
hole 1 d of theturbine blade 1, the cooling air X is supplied to the cooling promotingstructure 10 via the coolingair introduction portion 1 cf. The cooling air X supplied to the cooling promotingstructure 10 is distributed into thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14 at the inlet (the end portion of theleading edge 1 ca side) of the cooling promotingstructure 10. - As shown by solid arrows in
FIG. 2B , the cooling air X distributed into thefirst flow paths 12 flows through thefirst flow paths 12 along the firstflow path walls 11, and collides with the first collision surfaces 11 a orthogonal to the flow directions at the locations at which the firstflow path walls 11 are bent. The cooling air X colliding with the first collision surfaces 11 a flows into thesecond flow paths 14 via theinflow openings 15 a. In this case, the cooling air X collides with the suctionsurface blade wall 22 and impinge cools the suctionsurface blade wall 22. As shown by broken lines inFIG. 2B , the cooling air X colliding with the suctionsurface blade wall 22 flows through thesecond flow paths 14 along the secondflow path walls 13 and collides with the second collision surfaces 13 a orthogonal to the flow directions at the locations at which the secondflow path walls 13 are bent. The cooling air X colliding with thesecond collision surface 13 a flows into thefirst flow paths 12 again via theinflow openings 15 a. In this case, the cooling air X collides with the pressuresurface blade wall 21 and impinge cools the pressuresurface blade wall 21. - As shown by the broken arrows in
FIG. 2B , the cooling air X distributed into thesecond flow paths 14 flows through thesecond flow paths 14 along the secondflow path walls 13, and collides with the second collision surfaces 13 a orthogonal to the flow directions at the locations at which the secondflow path walls 13 are bent. The cooling air X colliding with the second collision surfaces 13 a flows into thefirst flow paths 12 via theinflow openings 15 a. In this case, the cooling air X collides with the pressuresurface blade wall 21 and impinge cools the pressuresurface blade wall 21. As shown by the solid lines inFIG. 2B , the cooling air X colliding with the pressuresurface blade wall 21 flows through thefirst flow paths 12 along the firstflow path walls 11 and collides with the first collision surfaces 11 a orthogonal to the flow directions at the locations at which the firstflow path walls 11 are bent. The cooling air X colliding with thefirst collision surface 11 a flows into thesecond flow paths 14 again via theinflow openings 15 a. In this case, the cooling air X collides with the suctionsurface blade wall 22 and impinge cools the suctionsurface blade wall 22. - In this way, the cooling air X distributed into the
first flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14 collides with the first collision surfaces 11 a or the second collision surfaces 13 a. Accordingly, whenever the flow path of the cooling air X is changed, the cooling air X impinge cools the pressuresurface blade wall 21 or the suctionsurface blade wall 22. In addition, the cooling air X discharged from the cooling promotingstructure 10 is ejected to the outside of theturbine blade 1 via the openingend 1 cg and film-cools the vicinity of the trailingedge 1 cb. - According to the cooling promoting
structure 10 of the present embodiment, even when the partition plates dividing the inner portion of thecooling flow path 1 ce in the height direction of the blade are not provided, it is possible to impinge cool the pressuresurface blade wall 21 and the suctionsurface blade wall 22, and it is possible to increase the cooling effectiveness. In addition, according to the cooling promotingstructure 10 of the present embodiment, since the partition plates are not required, it is possible to prevent the shape of the core 30 from being formed in a comb shape, and it is possible to increase the strength of thecore 30. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the manufacturability of theturbine blade 1. Therefore, according to the cooling promotingstructure 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to increase the cooling the effectiveness of the impingement cooling, and it is possible to enhance the manufacturability of theturbine blade 1. - In addition, since the partition plates are not required, it is possible to allow the cooling air X to flow the entire
cooling flow path 1 ce, and it is possible to more uniformly cool the pressuresurface blade wall 21 and the suctionsurface blade wall 22. Moreover, since the partition plates are not required, it is possible to decrease the weight of the cooling promotingstructure 10, and it is possible to decrease the weight of theturbine blade 1. - Moreover, in the cooling promoting
structure 10 of the present embodiment, all thefirst flow paths 12 andsecond flow paths 14 communicate with each other via theopenings 15. In the core 30 which is configured to form the cooling promotingstructure 10, since all solid portions are connected to each other, the strength of the core 30 increases. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the manufacturability of theturbine blade 1. - In addition, in the cooling promoting
structure 10 of the present embodiment, the firstflow path walls 11, the secondflow path walls 13, thefirst flow paths 12, and thesecond flow paths 14 have the mirror symmetrical shape, which has a center about a symmetrical axis connecting the upstream side and the downstream side of thecooling flow path 1 ce, as the unit shape, and a plurality of the unit shapes are arranged in directions orthogonal to the symmetrical axis. According to the cooling promotingstructure 10 having the shape, since the shapes in the directions orthogonal to the symmetrical axis are repeated patterns of the unit shapes, it is possible to simplify the shape of thecore 30 and to easily mold thecore 30. - In addition, in the cooling promoting
structure 10 of the present embodiment, each of the firstflow path walls 11 and the secondflow path walls 13 is formed in a wave form having the same width, and the first flow path walls and the second flow path walls are arranged at intervals equal to the width in the symmetrical axis direction. Therefore, according to the cooling promotingstructure 10 having the shape, since the shape in the symmetrical axis direction is a repeated pattern, it is possible to simplify the shape of thecore 30 and to easily mold thecore 30. - Hereinbefore, a preferred embodiment of the disclosure is described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the disclosure is not limited to the embodiment. The shapes, combinations, or the like of the components shown in the embodiment are examples, and various modifications may be applied based on design request or the like within the scope of the disclosure.

FIG. 6A is a plan view of a portion of a modification example of the cooling promotingstructure 10 of the embodiment.FIG. 6B is a sectional view of the modification example of the cooling promotingstructure 10. As shown inFIGS. 6A and 6B , in the modification example, by decreasing amplitudes of the shapes of the firstflow path walls 11 and the secondflow path walls 13 in the plan view, the width of each of theinflow openings 15 a is narrower than the width of each of thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14. In this way, in the modification example, since the width of the inflow opening 15 a is narrower than the width of inflow opening 15 a of the above-described first embodiment, flow velocity of the cooling air X passing through theinflow openings 15 a increases, and it is possible to further increase the effects of the impingement cooling. - Moreover, the shapes of the first
flow path walls 11 and the secondflow path walls 13 are not limited to the embodiment. For example, as shown inFIG. 7 , the shapes of the first flow path walls and the second flow path walls are respectively configured of lattice portions and block portions disposed at the centers of the lattice portions, and the first flow path walls and the second flow path walls may be disposed so as to be shifted from each other. In addition, as shown inFIG. 8 , the first flow path walls and the second flow path walls having wide widths may be disposed. Also in this configuration, the first flow path walls can include the first collision surfaces which collide with the cooling air flowing through the first flow paths, and the second flow path walls can include the second collision surfaces which collide with the cooling air flowing through the second flow paths. - In addition, in a state where an arrangement pitch of the first
flow path walls 11 and an arrangement pitch of the secondflow path walls 13 are maintained, it is possible to change the width of theinflow openings 15 a by changing a bending angle of the firstflow path wall 11 and a bending angle of the secondflow path wall 13. For example, by increasing the bending angles, it is possible to decrease overlapping portions between thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14, and it is possible to decrease the widths of theinflow openings 15 a. - Moreover, as shown in
FIG. 9 , by adjusting repetition periods, widths, or the like of the firstflow path walls 11 and the secondflow path walls 13, a cooling promoting structure 10C in which allopenings 15 are theinflow openings 15 a may be adopted. That is, the first collision surfaces 11 a or the second collision surfaces 13 a are provided on all the connection locations between thefirst flow paths 12 and thesecond flow paths 14. Accordingly, it is possible to removeopenings 15 which are not the inflow openings. Therefore, the number ofinflow openings 15 a per unit wall area of the blade increases, and it is possible to further increase the cooling promotion effectiveness. - In addition, in the above-described embodiments, the configuration in which the cooling promoting structure of the disclosure is applied to the
turbine blade 1 is described. However, the disclosure is not limited to this, and for example, the disclosure may be applied to a platform or a combustor liner. - Moreover, in the above-described embodiments, the configuration in which air is used as the cooling gas is described. However, the disclosure is not limited to this, and other gas may be used as the cooling gas.
- According to the cooling promoting structure of the disclosure, it is possible to increase the cooling effectiveness of impingement cooling, and it is possible to enhance the manufacturability of a product where the cooling promoting structure is used.
- While preferred embodiments of the disclosure have been described and shown above, it should be understood that these are exemplary examples of the disclosure and are not to be considered as limiting. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, the disclosure is not to be considered as being limited by the foregoing description, and is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
