Abstract
A turbine blade with a leading edge region of the airfoil having rows of film cooling slots each connected by one or more metering holes to a cooling air impingement cavity, where the film slots have both a convergent and a divergent shape. The side walls converge while the top and bottom walls diverge within each slot and form a very narrow but tall slot opening on the leading edge surface of the blade.
