Abstract
A control method is provided during which a turbine engine is operated. The turbine engine includes a plurality of steam cooled zones along a flowpath within the turbine engine. Steam is distributed between the steam cooled zones based on a first distribution while the turbine engine is operating in a first mode. The steam is distributed between the steam cooled zones based on a second distribution while the turbine engine is operating in a second mode. The second distribution is different than the first distribution.
