A transition duct for routing a gas flow from a combustor to the first stage of a turbine section in a combustion turbine engine has an internal passage from an inlet to an outlet. The outlet may include canted sides that reduce formation of damaging vibration in downstream turbine blades caused by downstream wake between adjacent transition ducts and by pressure differentials between adjacent transition ducts that include turning sections.

1. A transition duct for routing gas flow in a combustion turbine subsystem that includes a first stage blade array having a plurality of blades extending in a radial direction from a rotor assembly for rotation in a circumferential direction, said circumferential direction having a tangential direction component, the rotor assembly axis defining a longitudinal direction, and at least one combustor located longitudinally upstream of the first stage blade array and located radially outboard of the first stage blade array, said transition duct, comprising: a transition duct body having an internal passage extending between an inlet and an outlet;wherein the outlet is offset from the inlet in the longitudinal direction;wherein the outlet is formed from a radially outer side generally opposite to a radially inner side, and the radially outer and inner sides are coupled together with opposed first and second side walls;wherein the first side wall is canted relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream; andwherein the second side wall is canted in a generally same direction as the first side wall relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream; wherein the second side wall is nonparallel to the first side wall of the outlet. 2. The transition duct of claim 1, wherein the first side wall is canted between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 3. The transition duct of claim 2, wherein the first side wall is canted between about 30 and about 60 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 4. The transition duct of claim 1, wherein the outlet is offset from the inlet in the tangential direction and the internal passage is curved to the offset outlet, whereby a gas flow discharges from the outlet at an angle between the longitudinal direction and the tangential direction when the transition duct body is located between the combustor and the first stage blade array to receive the gas flow from the combustor into the internal passage through the inlet and to discharge the gas flow toward the first stage blade array. 5. The transition duct of claim 4, wherein the second side wall is canted relative to a radial axis. 6. The transition duct of claim 5, wherein the second side wall is nonparallel to the first side wall of the outlet. 7. The transition duct of claim 4, wherein the first side wall is canted between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 8. The transition duct of claim 7, wherein the first side wall is canted between about 30 and about 60 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 9. A transition duct for routing gas flow in a combustion turbine subsystem that includes a first stage blade array having a plurality of blades extending in a radial direction from a rotor assembly for rotation in a circumferential direction, said circumferential direction having a tangential direction component, the rotor assembly axis defining a longitudinal direction, and at least one combustor located longitudinally upstream of the first stage blade array and located radially outboard of the first stage blade array, said transition duct, comprising: a transition duct body having an internal passage extending between an inlet and an outlet;wherein the outlet is offset from the inlet in the longitudinal direction;wherein the outlet is formed from a radially outer side generally opposite to a radially inner side, and the radially outer and inner sides are coupled together with opposed first and second side walls;wherein the first side wall is canted relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream, and the second side wall is canted in a generally same direction as the first side wall relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream;wherein the second side wall is nonparallel to the first side wall of the outlet; andwherein the first and second side walls are canted between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 10. The transition duct of claim 9, herein the first and second side walls are canted between about 30 and about 60 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 11. The transition duct of claim 9, wherein the outlet is offset from the inlet in the tangential direction and the internal passage is curved to the offset outlet, whereby a gas flow discharges from the outlet at an angle between the longitudinal direction and the tangential direction when the transition duct body is located between the combustor and the first stage blade array to receive the gas flow from the combustor into the internal passage through the inlet and to discharge the gas flow toward the first stage blade array. 12. The transition duct of claim 11, wherein the second side wall is nonparallel to the first side wall of the outlet. 13. The transition duct of claim 11, wherein the first and second side walls are canted between about 20 and about 70 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 14. The transition duct of claim 13, wherein the first and second side walls are canted between about 30 and about 60 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream. 15. A transition duct for routing gas flow in a combustion turbine subsystem that includes a first stage blade array having a plurality of blades extending in a radial direction from a rotor assembly for rotation in a circumferential direction, said circumferential direction having a tangential direction component, the rotor assembly axis defining a longitudinal direction, and at least one combustor located longitudinally upstream of the first stage blade array and located radially outboard of the first stage blade array, said transition duct, comprising: a transition duct body having an internal passage extending between an inlet and an outlet, wherein the outlet is offset from the inlet in the tangential direction and the internal passage is curved to the offset outlet, whereby a gas flow discharges from the outlet at an angle between the longitudinal direction and the tangential direction when the transition duct body is located between the combustor and the first stage blade array to receive the gas flow from the combustor into the internal passage through the inlet and to discharge the gas flow toward the first stage blade array;wherein the outlet is formed from a radially outer side generally opposite to a radially inner side, and the radially outer and inner sides are coupled together with opposed first and second side walls; andwherein the first side wall is canted relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream, the second side wall is canted in a generally same direction as the first side wall relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream and the second side wall is nonparallel to the first side wall of the outlet; andwherein the second side wall is canted between about 30 and about 60 degrees relative to a radial axis when viewing the outlet longitudinally upstream.
