Abstract

An engine component can comprise a cooled surface adjacent to a cooling flow and a hot surface adjacent to a hot flow of fluid. The component can comprise a wall separating the hot and cooling flows, defining the cooled surface and the hot surface, and having a plurality of film holes disposed in the wall. At least one turbulator and at least one film hole inlet can be disposed on the cooled surface. The turbulator and the inlet can be arranged to provide a steady flow of cooling fluid to the film hole. One arrangement can comprise spacing the film hole inlet at least two turbulator heights from the turbulator.
