Cooling hole with curved metering section
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes a cooling hole. The component includes a first wall having an inlet, a second wall having an outlet and a metering section extending downstream from the inlet and having a substantially convex first surface and a substantially concave second surface. The component also includes a diffusing section extending from the metering section to the outlet. A gas turbine engine wall includes first and second surfaces and a cooling hole extending between an inlet at the first surface and an outlet at the second surface. The cooling hole includes a metering section commencing at the inlet and a diffusing section in communication with the metering section and terminating at the outlet. The metering section includes a top portion having a first arcuate surface and a bottom portion having a second arcuate surface. The first and second arcuate surfaces have arcs extending in substantially similar directions.
