Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas turbine engine system having a combustion section and a turbine section.SOLUTION: A turbine section includes a turbine stage having a plurality of turbine blades coupled to a rotor, and an inner casing circumferentially disposed about the plurality of turbine blades. The turbine section includes an outer casing circumferentially disposed about the inner casing. The inner casing and the outer casing define a cavity comprising a volume configured to facilitate the distribution of air within the cavity to cool an outer surface of the inner casing and an inner surface of the outer casing. The outer casing comprises an air inlet, and the inner casing comprises an air outlet. A flange is provided within the cavity, and the flange flanks the air inlet and a flow guide.
