Abstract: A film cooled component is provided that includes a body having a cavity defined therein, wherein a coolant is supplied to the cavity cooling apertures having at least one channel defined on an inside surface. The coolant exits the cavity through the plurality of cooling apertures thereby providing a cooling effect to the body and the channel creates an air flow such that the air coolant moves towards the body upon exiting the plurality of cooling apertures. The film cooled component may include cooling apertures configured to reverse blow coolant air.

Abstract: One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for shaped recess flow control are provided herein. A shaped recess or cavity can be formed on a surface associated with fluid flow. The shaped recess can be configured to create or induce fluid effects, temperature effects, or shedding effects that interact with a free stream or other structures. The shaped recess can be formed at an angle to a free stream flow and may be substantially “V” shaped. The shaped recess can be coupled with a cooling channel, for example. The shaped recess can be upstream or downstream from a cooling channel and aligned in a variety of manners. Due to the fluid effects, shedding effects, and temperature effects created by a shaped recess, lift-off or separation of cooling jets of cooling channels can be mitigated, thereby enhancing film cooling effectiveness.
