Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A stator vane includes a blade body, an outer shroud, and an impingement plate. The outer shroud includes a recess. The impingement plate forms a cavity inside the recess. A communication hole is provided in the impingement plate and the outer shroud. In the impingement plate, a plurality of through holes through which an outer space and a cavity communicate with each other are formed. A second region in which an opening ratio is large and a first region in which an opening ratio is small exist in a surface of the impingement plate.

First claim
