A turbine system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the turbine system includes a transition duct. The transition duct includes an inlet, an outlet, and a passage extending between the inlet and the outlet and defining a longitudinal axis, a radial axis, and a tangential axis. The outlet of the transition duct is offset from the inlet along the longitudinal axis and the tangential axis. The transition duct further includes an interface feature for interfacing with an adjacent transition duct. The turbine system further includes a convolution seal contacting the interface feature to provide a seal between the interface feature and the adjacent transition duct.

1. A turbine system, comprising: a transition duct comprising an inlet, an outlet, and a passage extending between the inlet and the outlet and defining a longitudinal axis, a radial axis, and a tangential axis, the outlet of the transition duct offset from the inlet along the longitudinal axis and the tangential axis, the transition duct further comprising an interface feature for interfacing with an adjacent transition duct, the interface feature comprising a channel, the channel comprising a first wall, a second wall opposing the first wall, and a third wall joining the first wall and the second wall; anda convolution seal contacting the interface feature and at least partially disposed in the channel to provide a seal between the interface feature and the adjacent transition duct, the convolution seal comprising a plurality of legs, the plurality of legs comprising a first outer leg and a second outer leg,wherein at least one of an intersection of the first outer leg and another of the plurality of legs or an intersection of the second outer leg and another of the plurality of legs is at a non-90 degree angle and is entirely within the channel and contacts the first wall. 2. The turbine system of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of one of the first outer leg and the second outer leg is curvilinear. 3. The turbine system of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of one of the first outer kg and the second outer leg is linear. 4. The turbine system of claim 1, wherein the first outer leg and second outer leg are generally parallel when in an operating condition. 5. The turbine system of claim 1, wherein the first outer leg and second outer leg have an outward bias in an operating condition. 6. The turbine system of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of convolution seals. 7. The turbine system of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of interface features. 8. The turbine system of claim 1, wherein the outlet of the transition duct is further offset from the inlet along the radial axis. 9. The turbine system of claim 1, wherein the interface feature is a first interface feature, and wherein the adjacent transition duct comprises a second interface feature for interfacing with the first interface feature, the convolution seal contacting the second interface feature to provide a seal between the first and second interface features. 10. The turbine system of claim 1, further comprising a turbine section in communication with the transition duct and the adjacent transition duct, the turbine section comprising a first stage bucket assembly. 11. A turbine system, comprising: a plurality of transition ducts disposed in a generally annular array, each of the plurality of transition ducts comprising an inlet, an outlet, and a passage extending between the inlet and the outlet and defining a longitudinal axis, a radial axis, and a tangential axis, the outlet of the transition duct offset from the inlet along the longitudinal axis and the tangential axis, each of the plurality of transition ducts further comprising a first interface feature and a second interface feature, each of the first interface feature and the second interface feature comprising a channel, the channel comprising a first wall, a second wall opposing the first wall, and a third wall joining the first wall and the second wall;a plurality of convolution seals, each of the plurality of convolution seals contacting and providing a seal between a first interface feature of one of the plurality of transition ducts and a second interface feature of an adjacent one of the plurality of transition ducts, at least one of the plurality of convolution seals partially disposed in the channel of a first interface feature and partially disposed in the channel of an adjacent second interface feature, the at least one of the plurality of convolution seals comprising a plurality of legs, the plurality of legs comprising a first outer leg and a second outer leg,wherein an intersection of the first outer leg and another of the plurality of legs of the at least one of the plurality of convolution seals is at a non-90 degree angle and is entirely within the channel and contacts the first wall of the first interface feature and an intersection of the second outer leg and another of the plurality of legs of the at least one of the plurality of convolution seals is at a non-90 degree angle and is entirely within the channel and contacts the first wall of the adjacent second interface feature. 12. The turbine system of claim 11, wherein at least a portion of one of the first outer leg and the second outer leg is curvilinear. 13. The turbine system of claim 11, wherein at least a portion of one of the first outer leg and the second outer leg is linear. 14. The turbine system of claim 11, wherein the first outer leg and second outer leg are generally parallel when in an operating condition. 15. The turbine system of claim 11, wherein the first outer leg and second outer leg have an outward bias in an operating condition. 16. The turbine system of claim 11, further comprising a plurality of convolution seals. 17. The turbine system of claim 11, further comprising a plurality of first interface features and a plurality of second interface features.
