A turbine airfoil usable in a turbine engine and having at least one cooling system. At least a portion of the cooling system may be positioned in an outer wall of the turbine airfoil and be formed from a multi-chambered, metering orifice. The multi-chambered, metering orifice may include a first diffusor coupled to a fluid supply channel through a first metering orifice. The first diffusor may be configured to form a vortex of cooling fluids. The multi-chambered, metering orifice may include a second diffusor in communication with an outer surface of the airfoil to exhaust cooling fluids from the airfoil. The second diffusor may be in fluid communication with the first diffusor through a second metering orifice. The second diffusor may be configured to reduce the velocity of the cooling fluids and to enable formation of a film cooling layer on the outer surface of the turbine airfoil.
