Abstract
Core assemblies and methods for manufacturing components of gas turbine engines include a first core body having a first trunk configured to attach to a first location of a cavity core structure, a first branch extending from the first trunk and configured to form a first portion of a first cooling circuit, the first branch having a first joining surface, and a second core body having a second trunk configured to attach to a second location of a cavity core structure, a first branch of the second core body extending from the second trunk and configured to form a first portion of a second cooling circuit in the component. The first branches of the core bodies joined to form a junction. The junction defines a merger of the first cooling circuit and the second cooling circuit proximate to an exit of the first and second cooling circuits.
