An elongate slot extends inwardly from the second side and is disposed in flow communication with a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart holes extending inwardly from the first side. The holes are disposed at a compound angle relative to the second side for discharging the first fluid obliquely into the slot and at a shallow discharge angle from the slot along the second side. In a preferred embodiment, the slot has an aft surface including a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart grooves extending from the holes to the wall second side.
