Abstract
A rotor for a turbomachine includes at least one moving blade row including a plurality of moving blades disposed adjacent to one another in a circumferential direction with respect to an axis of rotation. Each one of the plurality of moving blades includes a blade leaf and a blade root having an outer face, the outer face of the blade root including a blade root curved end wall contour adjacent the blade leaf in the circumferential direction. The blade root curved end wall contour has a concave curvature in an axial sectional plane of the rotor. At least one rotor shaft includes a reception slot for a respective one of the at least one moving blade row extending in the circumferential direction. Each of the plurality of moving blades is inserted into the reception slot via a respective blade root.
