Abstract

A turbine vane is provided that includes inner and outer radial platforms, an airfoil, and a baffle. The airfoil extends radially between the platforms. The airfoil extends spanwise between a base end and a tip end. The airfoil includes opposing suction and pressure sidewalls, and an interior wall that extends laterally between the suction and pressure sidewalls. The pressure sidewall, the suction sidewall, and the interior wall define an interior cavity. The baffle is disposed in the interior cavity. The baffle includes a forward wall segment, a suction sidewall segment, a pressure sidewall segment, and a fin segment. The forward wall segment, the suction sidewall segment, and the pressure sidewall segment collectively define an interior chamber of the baffle. The fin segment extends outwardly from the interior chamber, and the fin segment has a wavy configuration.
