Abstract
An example airfoil cooling arrangement includes a airfoil wall having a first face and a second face opposite the first face. The airfoil wall establishes a channel that is configured to communicate fluid between an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture. The channel includes secondary portion that branch from a primary portion. An example airfoil cooling method includes receiving a flow of fluid from a airfoil core cavity and communicating the flow of fluid through channel within a wall of the airfoil. The channel has a secondary portion branching from a primary portion.
