Abstract
An airfoil array includes an endwall. A first airfoil and a second airfoil each extend radially from the endwall and have a first side and an opposite second side that extends along an axially chord between a leading edge and a trailing edge. A first profiled region is recessed into the endwall along the first side of the first airfoil. A second profiled region protrudes from the endwall approximately equidistant from the first side of the first airfoil and the second side of the second airfoil. A third profiled region is recessed into the endwall along adjacent the leading edge of the second side of the second airfoil. The third profiled region is at least partially axially aligned with the second profiled region.
