Abstract
A turbine airfoil includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side wall extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, a suction side wall extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, a cooling air supply cavity disposed within the turbine airfoil, and a near wall cooling cavity disposed within the turbine airfoil and fluidly coupled to the cooling air supply cavity to receive cooling air. In addition, the near wall cooling cavity partially extends along the suction side wall from adjacent the leading edge to a location more proximal the trailing edge. Moreover, the near wall cooling cavity provides near wall cooling to a high heat load region along the suction side wall.
