A turbine engine component has an airfoil portion having a leading edge, a suction side, and a pressure side and a radial flow leading edge cavity through which a cooling fluid flows for cooling the leading edge. The turbine engine component further has a first set of trip strips and a second set of trip strips which meet at the leading edge nose portion of the leading edge cavity to form a plurality of chevron shaped trip strips and for generating a vortex in the leading edge cavity which impinges on the nose portion of the leading edge cavity and enhances convective heat transfer.
