    Abstract: A combustor for a turbomachine engine includes a combustion chamber, a liner forming a boundary of the combustion chamber, and multiple dilution holes through the liner to permit airflow into the combustion chamber. The dilution holes include converging dilution holes and diverging dilution holes, the converging dilution holes having a converging cross-sectional profile and the diverging dilution holes having a diverging cross-sectional profile.

    Abstract: A combustor liner for a combustor of a gas turbine includes an outer liner having a plurality of outer liner segments, and an inner liner having a plurality of inner liner segments. Each segment of the inner liner and the outer liner includes at least one slotted dilution opening therethrough extending in a circumferential direction, and each slotted dilution opening includes a deflector wall extending radially from the respective liner into a dilution zone of a combustion chamber between the outer liner and the inner liner. The at least one slotted dilution opening may be a curved slot (either concave or convex) dilution opening, and the curved slot dilution openings for each segment of the outer liner and the inner liner may be connected so as to provide a wavy slotted dilution opening extending annularly through the outer liner and the inner liner.

    Abstract: A combustor for a gas turbine has a combustor liner including an upstream liner portion, and a downstream liner portion. The upstream liner portion includes an outer shell and a heat shield panel, with a baffle cavity therebetween. The outer shell includes an outer shell cooling opening for providing a flow of compressed air to the baffle cavity, and the heat shield panel includes a heat shield panel cooling opening at a downstream end of the heat shield panel. A fence is arranged at a downstream side of the heat shield panel cooling opening and extends beyond a hot side surface of the heat shield panel into a combustion chamber. The heat shield panel cooling opening provides a flow of the compressed air therethrough from the baffle cavity for cooling of the heat shield panel and for providing at least partial dilution of combustion gases within the combustion chamber.

    Abstract: A swirler assembly of a combustor of a gas turbine, the swirler assembly including a primary swirler having a primary swirler flow opening, and a swirler ferrule plate connected to an upstream side of the primary swirler. The swirler ferrule plate includes (a) a fuel nozzle opening, and (b) a plurality of oxidizer purge passages surrounding the fuel nozzle opening, each one of the plurality of oxidizer purge passages including (i) an inlet passage portion, and (ii) an outlet passage portion extended from the inlet passage portion to a downstream end of the swirler ferrule plate and having an outlet in fluid communication with the primary swirler flow opening. The outlet passage portion has an increasing cross-sectional area extending along the length of the outer passage portion from the inlet passage portion to the outlet that induces a pressure drop in a flow of oxidizer through the oxidizer flow passage.
