Abstract
The gas turbine component showerhead cooling hole layouts described herein include minimal lateral cooling hole exit diffusion on the middle showerhead cooling hole rows and interior facing sides of outer rows. In this way, rows of cooling holes may be placed close together. Stated another way, the outer showerhead cooling hole rows substantially only include lateral cooling hole exit diffusion in the direction away from the other rows to again allow the rows to be placed close together.
