This Lecture Series will focus on the art, science, and 
practical design usage of film cooling technology. In its 
various forms, film cooling has become one of the most 
important and relied upon cooling techniques for the hot 
sections of propulsion and energy gas turbines. The LS 
will begin with an overview of turbine engine design 
practices and applications for film cooling. A significant 
portion of the LS will be devoted to comprehensive reviews 
concerning the fundamentals of jet injection and mixing, 
the various key parametric effects and results for 
adiabatic effectiveness, heat transfer coefficients and 
discharge coefficients, the current and developing methods 
in computational predictions centered on film cooling, as 
well as unsteady and rotational turbine environment 
effects. The LS will provide a comprehensive and complete 
single source for understanding film cooling and a basis 
for future film technology advances.
