An apparatus for use in a gas turbine engine includes a wall defining an exterior face, a first film cooling passage extending through the wall to a first outlet along the exterior surface of the wall for providing film cooling, and first and second rows of vortex-generating structures. The first film cooling passage defines a first interior surface region and a second interior surface region. The first row of vortex-generating structures is located along the first interior surface region, and the second row of vortex-generating structures is located along the second interior surface region. The first and second rows of vortex-generating structures are configured to inducing a pair of vortices in substantially opposite first and second rotational directions in a cooling fluid passing through the first cooling passage prior to reaching the first outlet.
