The invention relates to a turbine blade (1) through which cooling liquid flows and which comprises several flow channels (4, 5, 6) that are adjacently arranged in the flowing-off direction (2) of the working fluid (3). Said flow channels (4, 5, 6) extend between inflow openings (7, 8, 9), which are located on a radially inner blade foot (10), and outflow openings (11, 12, 13), which are situated opposite the blade foot in a more radially outer manner. The flow channels (4,5,6) extend such that the local radial flow components (15) of the resulting cooling fluid stream (14) are directed outward in a, for the most part, predominantly radial manner. A flow channel (4), which is in the front when viewing in the flowing-off direction (2), is provided whose outflow openings (11) are placed inside a touching edge (16) of the turbine blade (1). In addition, at least one rear edge channel (5, 6) is provided whose associated resulting cooling fluid stream (14) additionally comprises local cross-flow components (17) and whose outflow openings (12, 13) are placed inside a rear edge (16) of the turbine blade (1).
A turbine blade (1), through which cooling fluid flows, having a plurality of flow ducts (4,5,6) adjacently arranged in the efflux direction (2) of the working fluid (3), which flow ducts (4,5,6) extend between inlet flow openings (7,8,9) on a radially inner blade root (10) and, opposite to them, further radially outwardly located outlet flow openings (11,12,13), having a cooling fluid flow (14) which is practically free of reversal relative to the radial direction (20), and having, viewed in the efflux direction (2), a front flow duct (4) whose outlet flow openings (11) are introduced into a rubbing edge (16) of the turbine blade (1), characterized in that at least one trailing edge duct (5, 6) is present whose cooling fluid flow (14) has local transverse flow components (17) at predetermined locations and, for which trailing edge duct (5, 6), outlet flow openings (12,13) are introduced into a trailing edge (16) of the turbine blade (1).
