Abstract

A blade cascade for a turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, including multiple identical blade groups which are situated next to each other and which each include
a first individual blade ( 10 ) having
a vane ( 12 ) having a blade profile and a first side wall ( 11 ), and a second individual blade ( 20 ), which differs from the first, having a vane ( 22 ) having
a blade profile and a second side wall ( 21 ), the first and second side walls ( 11, 21 ) having different contourings.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A blade cascade for a turbomachine comprising:
a plurality of identical blade groups situated next to each other in a circumferential direction, each blade group including:
a first individual blade having a first vane containing a first blade profile and a first side wall and the first side wall further including a first radial inner side wall,
a second individual blade differing from the first individual blade and having a second vane containing a second blade profile and a second side wall, the second side wall having a different contouring than the first side wall, the second side wall further including a second radial inner side wall that circumferentially adjoins to the first radial inner side wall, the first radial inner side wall and the second radial inner side wall, respectively, having radial depressions defined therein, and
a circumferential working fluid flow channel of each blade group that is at least partially defined by the circumferentially adjoined first and second radial inner side walls.

2. The blade cascade as recited in claim 1 wherein the contouring of a first outside edge of the first side wall corresponds to the contouring of a second outside edge of the second side wall.

3. The blade cascade as recited in claim 2 wherein the first outside edge and the second outside edge adjoin.

4. The blade cascade as recited in claim 1 wherein the first individual blade and the second individual blade have different profiles, masses, rigidities, mass or rigidity distributions.

5. The blade cascade as recited in claim 1 wherein the contouring of the first side wall deviates from the contouring of the second side wall in a radial direction by at least 1% of a blade height of the blade cascade.

6. The blade cascade as recited in claim 5 wherein the contouring of the first side wall deviates from the contouring of the second side wall in a radial direction by at least 2% of a blade height of the blade cascade.

7. The blade cascade as recited in claim 5 wherein the contouring of the first side wall deviates from the contouring of the second side wall in a radial direction by at least 2.5% of a blade height of the blade cascade.

8. The blade cascade as recited in claim 5 wherein the first side wall and the second side wall adjoin circumferentially.

9. The blade cascade as recited in claim 5 wherein the contouring of the first side wall deviates from the contouring of the second side wall in a radial direction by at least 1 mm.

10. The blade cascade as recited in claim 5 wherein the contouring of the first side wall deviates from the contouring of the second side wall in a radial direction by at least 2 mm.

11. The blade cascade as recited in claim 1 wherein the contouring of the first side wall deviates from the contouring of the second side wall in a radial direction by at least 0.1 mm.

12. The blade cascade as recited in claim 11 wherein the first side wall and the second side wall adjoin circumferentially.

13. A gas turbine comprising at least one compressor or turbine stage having a blade cascade as recited in claim 1 , the blade cascade being a guide or moving blade cascade.

14. An aircraft engine comprising a gas turbine as recited in claim 13 .
