Abstract: A combustor for a gas turbine includes a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) dome including a swirler opening therethrough with a flare interface surface surrounding the swirler opening, a swirler assembly including (a) a secondary swirler having a threaded flare attachment portion, and (b) a flare having (i) a threaded secondary swirler attachment portion, and (ii) a dome interface wall that interfaces with the flare interface surface of the CMC dome, and a swirler-dome attachment member. The flare is connected to the secondary swirler via the threaded flare attachment portion and the threaded secondary swirler attachment portion, and the swirler-dome attachment member applies a force to the CMC dome to engage the dome interface wall and the flare interface surface so as to connect the CMC dome and the swirler assembly.

Abstract: A method for additively manufacturing a component includes generating, via imaging software, a plurality of slices of a support structure of the component based on component geometry. The method also includes melting or fusing, via the additive manufacturing system, layers of material to a build platform of the component so as to form the support structure according to the plurality of slices. The support structure includes a lattice configuration having of a plurality of support members arranged together to form a plurality of cells. Further, the method includes melting or fusing, via the additive manufacturing system, a component body to the support structure. After the component body solidifies, the method includes removing all of the support structure from the component body to form the component.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a combustion system which comprising: a cowl; a deflector configurated to include a ring body, a plurality of swirlers integrated on the ring body and a plurality of arms integrally extending outward from the ring body; an annular inner liner attached with the cowl; and an annular outer liner attached with the cowl. The deflector is positioned between the inner liner and the outer liner; the deflector, the inner liner and the outer line define a combustion chamber thereamong. The deflector is attached to the cowl via the plurality of arms, but the arms are rigid enough to work together to fix the deflector with the cowl while allowing for thermal expansion flexibility therebetween at the same time.
