A turbine shroud assembly asymmetrical cooling element such as a shroud
segment or a baffle includes an arcuate panel. The panel has a plurality
of cooling apertures extending through the panel and an axially extending
midline of the panel parallel to an axis of rotation of the arcuate
panel. A symmetric portion of the cooling apertures have a symmetrical
density of aperture inlets that is symmetric with respect to the axially
extending midline. An asymmetric portion of the cooling apertures have an
asymmetrical density of aperture inlets that is asymmetric with respect
to the axially extending midline. One exemplary cooling element includes
a high density area of the cooling apertures in the asymmetric portion
having a higher density of aperture inlets than in the symmetric portion.
A low density area of the cooling apertures in the asymmetric portion has
a lower density of aperture inlets than in the symmetric portion of the
cooling apertures.
