Transition duct assemblies for turbine systems and turbomachines are provided. In one embodiment, a transition duct assembly includes a plurality of transition ducts disposed in a generally annular array and comprising a first transition duct and a second transition duct. Each of the plurality of transition ducts 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 each transition duct is offset from the inlet along the longitudinal axis and the tangential axis. The transition duct assembly further includes an aerodynamic structure defined by the passages of the first transition duct and the second transition duct. The aerodynamic structure includes a pressure side, a suction side, and a trailing edge, the trailing edge having a modified aerodynamic contour.

1. A transition duct assembly for a turbine system, the transition duct assembly comprising: a plurality of transition ducts disposed in a generally annular array and comprising a first transition duct and a second transition duct, each of the plurality of transition ducts comprising a radially inner wall portion, a radially outer wall portion, a radially extending side wall portion coupled to and extending between the radially inner wall portion and the radially outer wall portion, 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 each of the plurality of transition ducts offset from the corresponding inlet of each of the plurality of transition ducts along the corresponding longitudinal and tangential axes of each of the plurality of transition ducts, wherein each of the plurality of transition ducts directs combustion gases at least partially along the corresponding tangential axis of each of the plurality of transition ducts; andan aerodynamic structure partially formed by adjacent radially extending side wall portions of the first transition duct and the second transition duct, the aerodynamic structure comprising a pressure side, a suction side, and a trailing edge and defining a chord-wise axis extending from an inlet side of the aerodynamic structure to an outlet side of the aerodynamic structure, a span-wise axis perpendicular to the chord-wise axis and extending between the radially inner wall portions of the first and second transition ducts and the radially outer wall portions of the first and second transition ducts, and a yaw axis perpendicular to the chord-wise axis and the span-wise axis and extending between the pressure side and the suction side, wherein the trailing edge comprises a lobe extending from the radially inner wall portions of the first and second transition ducts to the radially outer wall portions of the first and second transition ducts, the lobe being entirely curvilinear in a plane defined by the chord-wise axis and the span-wise axis. 2. The transition duct assembly of claim 1, wherein the lobe is convex. 3. The transition duct assembly of claim 1, wherein the lobe is concave. 4. The transition duct assembly of claim 1, wherein the outlet of each of the plurality of transition ducts is further offset from the inlet of each of the plurality of transition ducts along the corresponding radial axis of each of the plurality of transition ducts. 5. A turbomachine, comprising: an inlet section;an exhaust section;a compressor section;a turbine section; anda combustor section between the compressor section and the turbine section, the combustor section comprising:a plurality of transition ducts disposed in a generally annular array and comprising a first transition duct and a second transition duct, each of the plurality of transition ducts comprising a radially inner wall portion, a radially outer wall portion, a radially extending side wall portion coupled to and extending between the radially inner wall portion and the radially outer wall portion, 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 each of the plurality of transition ducts offset from the corresponding inlet of each of the plurality of transition ducts along the corresponding longitudinal and tangential axes of each of the plurality of transition ducts, wherein each of the plurality of transition ducts directs combustion gases at least partially along the corresponding tangential axis of each of the plurality of transition ducts; andan aerodynamic structure partially formed by adjacent radially extending side wall portions of the first transition duct and the second transition duct, the aerodynamic structure comprising a pressure side, a suction side, and a trailing edge and defining a chord-wise axis extending from an inlet side of the aerodynamic structure to an outlet side of the aerodynamic structure, a span-wise axis perpendicular to the chord-wise axis and extending between the radially inner wall portions of the first and second transition ducts and the radially outer wall portions of the first and second transition ducts, and a yaw axis perpendicular to the chord-wise axis and the span-wise axis and extending between the pressure side and the suction side, wherein the trailing edge comprises a lobe extending from the radially inner wall portions of the first and second transition ducts to the radially outer wall portions of the first and second transition ducts, the lobe being entirely curvilinear in a plane defined by the chord-wise axis and the span-wise axis. 6. The turbomachine of claim 5, wherein the turbine section comprises a first stage bucket assembly, and wherein no first stage nozzles are disposed upstream of the first stage bucket assembly in the turbine section. 7. The turbomachine of claim 5, wherein the lobe is convex. 8. The turbomachine of claim 5, wherein the lobe is concave. 9. The turbomachine of claim 5, wherein the outlet of each of the plurality of transition ducts is further offset from the inlet of each of the plurality of transition ducts along the corresponding radial axis of each of the plurality of transition ducts.
