Abstract:
A combustor component of a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a heat shield panel. The heat shield panel defines a bend and a microcircuit flow path within a thickness of the heat shield panel. The microcircuit flow path includes an inlet and an outlet radially outward of the inlet. The microcircuit flow path at the bend is positioned radially between the inlet and the outlet, and the microcircuit flow path follows the bend. A method of cooling a combustor of a gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
