Abstract
A gas turbine engine component includes a body with a wall surrounding an interior cavity. The wall has opposed interior and exterior surfaces. The interior surface has a plurality of coolant inlets and the exterior surface has a coolant outlet defined therein. A coolant conduit extends between the coolant inlets and the coolant outlet and is configured and adapted to induce secondary flow vortices in coolant traversing the coolant conduit and in an adherent coolant film over a portion of the exterior surface of component body.
