Abstract

An engine component for a gas turbine engine may include a radial channel and an axial channel disposed in the engine component. The radial channel may be configured to direct a cooling air in a radial direction. The axial channel may be configured to direct the cooling air in a direction substantially perpendicular to the radial direction. A cross-section area of the axial channel is greater than a cross-section area of the radial channel, such that the radial channel remains the metering channel, independent of the relative location due to radial movement of the engine component with respect to an adjacent engine component.
