A rotor blade for a rotor assembly is provided that includes a root, an airfoil, and a damper. The airfoil includes a base, a tip, a pressure side wall, a suction side wall, and at least one cavity disposed therebetween, and a channel. The damper is selectively received within the channel. The channel is disposed within the cavity between a first wall portion and a second wall portion. At least one of the first wall portion and the second wall portion includes a plurality of raised features extending outwardly from the wall into the channel. The features are spaced apart from one another. The raised features extend between the damper and the wall portion from which they extend outwardly. A plurality of tortuous flow passages are formed between the damper, the respective wall portion, and the raised features extending therebetween. Substantially all of the tortuous passages include at least one portion that extends at least partially in a lengthwise direction and at least one portion that extends at least partially in a widthwise direction.

What is claimed is: 1. A rotor blade for a rotor assembly, comprising: a root; an airfoil, having a base, a tip, a pressure side wall, a suction side wall, a cavity disposed between the side walls, and a channel disposed within the cavity, wherein at least a portion of one of the pressure side wall
What is claimed is: 1. A rotor blade for a rotor assembly, comprising: a root; an airfoil, having a base, a tip, a pressure side wall, a suction side wall, a cavity disposed between the side walls, and a channel disposed within the cavity, wherein at least a portion of one of the pressure side wall and suction side wall aligned with the channel includes a plurality of raised features extending outwardly from the wall into the channel, and the raised features are separated from one another to create passages therebetween; and a damper, selectively received within the channel and in contact with at least some of said raised features; and wherein at least some of the passages between the raised features include a flow direction that includes a lengthwise component and a widthwise component. 2. The rotor blade of claim 1, wherein at least some of the raised features make a point contact with the damper. 3. The rotor blade of claim 2, wherein the at least some of the raised features are spherically shaped. 4. The rotor blade of claim 1, wherein at least some of the raised features make a line contact with the damper. 5. The rotor blade of claim 4, wherein the at least some of the raised features are cylindrically shaped. 6. The rotor blade of claim 1, wherein the plurality of raised features are arranged to form a tortuous flow path for cooling air entering the channel across a first lengthwise extending edge and exiting the channel across a second lengthwise extending edge, wherein the second lengthwise extending edge is aft of the first lengthwise extending edge. 7. The rotor blade of claim 6, wherein the plurality of raised features are randomly arranged. 8. The rotor blade of claim 6, wherein the plurality of raised features are arranged in a plurality of rows, and the raised features within each row are positioned offset from the raised features within an adjacent row of raised features. 9. The rotor blade of claim 6, wherein at least some of the raised features make a point contact with the damper. 10. The rotor blade of claim 6, wherein at least some of the raised features make a line contact with the damper. 11. The rotor blade of claim 1, wherein the plurality of raised features are arranged in a plurality of rows, and the raised features within each row are positioned offset from the raised features within an adjacent row of raised features. 12. The rotor blade of claim 11, wherein at least some of the raised features make a point contact with the damper. 13. The rotor blade of claim 11, wherein at least some of the raised features make a line contact with the damper. 14. The rotor blade of claim 1, wherein the damper further comprises: a forward face; an aft face; a pair of bearing surfaces, extending between the forward and aft faces. 15. The rotor blade of claim 14, further comprising: a platform, extending laterally outward from the blade between the root and the airfoil, the platform having an airfoil side and a root side, and an aperture extending between the root side of the platform and the cavity; and wherein the damper is received within the aperture and extends into the channel. 16. The rotor blade of claim 1, wherein the airfoil further comprises a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the damper is received within the airfoil adjacent the trailing edge. 17. A rotor blade for a rotor assembly, comprising: a root; an airfoil, having a base, a tip, a pressure side wall, a suction side wall, a cavity disposed between the side walls, and a channel disposed within the cavity, wherein at least a portion of one of the pressure side wall and suction side wall aligned with the channel includes a plurality of raised features extending outwardly from the wall into the channel, and the raised features are separated from one another to create passages therebetween; and a damper, selectively received within the channel and in contact with at least some of said raised features; and wherein the plurality of raised features are arranged to form a tortuous flow path for cooling air entering the channel across a first lengthwise extending edge and exiting the channel across a second lengthwise extending edge, wherein the second lengthwise extending edge is aft of the first lengthwise extending edge. 18. The rotor blade of claim 17, wherein the plurality of raised features are randomly arranged. 19. The rotor blade of claim 17, wherein the plurality of raised features are arranged in a plurality of rows, and the raised features within each row are positioned offset from the raised features within an adjacent row of raised features.
