Abstract

See full text

A turbomachine stage includes guide vanes and an airfoil platform forming a guide vane cascade, and rotor blades and an airfoil platform forming a rotor blade cascade. Airfoil platforms have cascade regions extending between circumferentially adjacent airfoils, and gap regions which radially and/or axially bound an axial gap extending axially between the guide vane cascade and the rotor blade cascade. A contour of at least one of these gap regions varies in the radial and/or axial direction around the circumference. A maximum extent of this contour in the radial direction toward the spoke-like pattern is circumferentially spaced from an airfoil edge of this cascade by no more than 50% of the cascade pitch, a maximum variation in the radial direction being no more than 50% of the cascade pitch and/or a maximum extent in the axial direction away from the spoke-like pattern is circumferentially spaced from an airfoil edge of this cascade by no more than 50% of the cascade pitch, a maximum variation in the axial direction being no more than 50% of the cascade pitch.
