<p>An aerodynamically optimized mid-span snubber for combustion turbine blades is disclosed. The disclosed snubber provides sufficient stiffness to ameliorate vibratory stress but does so with minimal degradation of aerodynamic performance. The inventive snubber has an optimized aerodynamic cross-sectional shape that forms when two snubber portions attached to adjacent rotor blades come into contact upon rotation of the rotor at an operational velocity.</p> |
