Abstract

A gas turbine cooled blade has leading edge turbulators. A rounded tip portion of the leading edge portion cooling passage (3) is approximated by a triangular cooling passage (1) having orthogonal turbulators (11, 12) and a smoothly curved rear portion thereof of the leading edge portion cooling passage (3) is approximated by a square cooling passage 2 having oblique turbulators (13, 14).
