Abstract:
A wall of a gas turbine engine is provided. The wall may comprise an external surface adjacent a gas path and an internal surface adjacent an internal flow path. A film hole may have an inlet at the internal surface and an outlet at the external surface. A flow accumulator adjacent the inlet may protrude from the internal surface. A method of making an engine component is also provided and comprises the step of forming a component wall comprising an accumulator on an internal surface and a film hole defined by the component wall. The film hole may include an opening adjacent the accumulator and defined by the internal surface.
