ABSTRACT:
A component includes at least one wall having an inner portion and an outer portion. A number of pins extend between the inner and outer portions of the wall. The pins define a mesh cooling arrangement having a number of flow channels. A number of dimples are located in at least one of the inner and outer portions of the wall. The component may also include a number of turbulators disposed on at least one of the inner and outer portions of the wall.
