ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a hollow turbine airfoil having a cooling system designed to provide enhanced cooling to the fillet of a turbine airfoil. The turbine airfoil may include at least one fillet cooling channel, passing proximate to the fillet. A portion of the fillet cooling channel may be positioned proximate to the fillet outer surface without breaching an outer surface of the turbine airfoil. The turbine airfoil may include a vortex plate positioned adjacent to the end wall inner surface proximate to the fillet and an opening of the fillet cooling channel may be in fluid communication with the vortex chamber. The turbine airfoil may also include at least one end wall film cooling channel that may extend obliquely through the end wall and may be in fluid communication with the vortex chamber.
