Abstract Improved Film Cooling Passages With Step Diffuser A film cooling passage through the wall of a hollow airfoil for a gas turbine engine has a metering section communicating with the interior of the airfoil for directing a metered amount of coolant through the passage in a first direction, followed by a mixing section to create turbulence in the flow as it leaves the metering section, followed. by a diffusing section leading to the passage outlet at the outer surface of the airfoil. The mixing section comprises a sudden jog or step in the flow path of the fluid to suddenly disrupt its forward momentum in the first direction and to create turbulence therein whereby the fluid is more readily able to spread out within the following diffusing section and thereby stay attached to more widely diverging diffusion section walls. Wider diffusion angles in the coolant passage permits the same amount of coolant to be spread out over a wider area of the surface of the airfoil.
