1. A water jacket for cooling a heat generating component, the water jacket comprising
a base having a plate shape,
wherein the base includes:
a refrigerant supply path having a refrigerant inflow portion configured to allow a refrigerant to flow thereinto;
a refrigerant discharge path having a refrigerant outflow portion configured to allow the refrigerant to flow out therethrough; and
a chamber communicating with the refrigerant supply path and the refrigerant discharge path, and
wherein the chamber includes:
a first wall and a second wall, the first wall having a first interior surface and a first exterior surface opposite to the first interior surface, the second wall having a second interior surface facing the first interior surface, the heat generating component being disposed on the first exterior surface;
a plurality of columnar fins erected from the first interior surface and intersecting a flow direction of the refrigerant; and
a plurality of wing-like fins disposed closer to the second interior surface than the first interior surface and inclined or curved from the second interior surface toward the first interior surface as the plurality of wing-like fins go from an upstream side toward a downstream side in the flow direction of the refrigerant, and
wherein each of the plurality of wing-like fins is formed over columnar fins out of the plurality of columnar fins, the columnar fins being arranged side by side in a width direction orthogonal to the flow direction of the refrigerant.
