Abstract: A liner for a combustor in a gas turbine engine and a related method. The liner includes a liner body having a cold side and a hot side. The liner includes a dilution array having a plurality of dilution passages, each dilution passage of the plurality of dilution passages having a concatenated geometry repeating in a predetermined pattern and extending circumferentially around the liner body. The dilution passage integrates a first dilution air flow flowing through the dilution passage from the cold side to the hot side and a second dilution air flow flowing through the dilution passage from the cold side to the hot side into an integrated dilution air flow and injects the integrated dilution air flow into a core primary combustion zone of the combustor to attain a predetermined combustion state of the combustor. The dilution array is repeated along an axial length of the liner body.

Abstract: An engine can utilize a combustor to combust fuel to drive the engine. A fuel nozzle assembly can supply fuel to the combustor for combustion or ignition of the fuel. The fuel nozzle assembly can include a swirler and a fuel nozzle to supply a mixture of fuel and air for combustion, which can supply a primary fuel supply and a secondary fuel supply. Increasing efficiency and reducing emission require the use of alternative fuels, which combust at higher temperatures or burn at faster burn speeds than traditional fuels, requiring improved fuel introduction without the occurrence of flame holding or flashback.
