Abstract
A transition channel for a turbine unit with at least two components is configured as a flow channel from one component of a first pressure to a component of a second pressure. The transition channel has support ribs, extending between envelope surfaces of the transition channel and having a profile that is configured for the deflecting of a flow from an inlet cross section to an outlet cross section of the transition channel. Flow splitter blades are arranged between the support ribs, having a smaller relative profile thickness than the support ribs and/or a shorter axial design depth or profile chord length than the support ribs. Thanks to the integration of the slim and/or short flow splitter blades (tandem blades), it is possible to largely dissipate parasite secondary flows.
