Abstract

A turbine blade is provided. The turbine blade may include an airfoil having an airfoil tip, a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a pressure side and a suction side extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge and defining an airfoil cavity, a squealer tip arranged at the airfoil tip part and comprising a trailing edge tip portion disposed at the trailing edge of the airfoil and a pressure side rail and a suction side rail meeting at the trailing edge tip portion and defining a squealer tip pocket at the airfoil tip, and at least one tip cooling hole disposed at the squealer tip pocket to provide cooling air from the airfoil cavity to the squealer tip pocket, wherein the trailing edge tip portion of the squealer tip includes a chamfer disposed towards the pressure side of the airfoil and a groove extending from the squealer tip pocket to the chamfer to provide cooling air from the squealer tip pocket to the chamfer.
