Patent attributes
A turbine blade includes: a blade body; and a plurality of cooling passages each extending inside the blade body along a blade height direction and are connected to each other via return portions disposed at an end portion in the blade height direction to form a serpentine passage. The cooling passages include: an upstream passage disposed on an upstream side in a flow of a cooling fluid among the plurality of cooling passages; a downstream passage disposed on a downstream side in the flow of the cooling fluid among the plurality of cooling passages; and at least one intermediate passage disposed between the upstream passage and the downstream passage among the plurality of cooling passages. The upstream passage is disposed closest to a leading edge in a chord direction of the blade body among the plurality of cooling passages formed inside the blade body and extending along the height direction.
