Abstract
An airfoil for an axial flow machine includes: an airfoil body extending in a radial direction; a platform (an end wall) provided at an end portion of the airfoil body in the radial direction, the end wall being formed into a plate shape as a wall of a channel in which the airfoil body is installed and which supports the airfoil body; and at least one convex portion formed so as to protrude from a back surface of the platform in a direction away from the airfoil body. The convex portion is formed integrally with a portion for generating a node of a primary vibration mode when an edge portion of the platform vibrates as a free end of the primary vibration mode.
