Abstract
A gas turbine engine comprising a set of circumferentially adjacent airfoils, the airfoils having an outer wall defining a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a stream-wise direction, and between a root and a tip to define a span-wise direction, and a set of dimples provide on the outer wall of at least one of the airfoils, the set of dimples spaced in at least one of the stream-wise or span-wise directions.
