Abstract: Combustor systems are provided. For example, a combustor system comprises a combustor having forward and aft ends and including annular inner and outer liners that each extend generally along an axial direction and define a combustion chamber therebetween. The combustor system also comprises a fuel nozzle having an outlet defined in an outlet end of the fuel nozzle and including a pilot swirler. The outlet is positioned at the forward end of the combustor to direct a fuel-air mixture into the combustion chamber. The combustor system further comprises a main mixer attached to the outlet end of the fuel nozzle and extending about the outlet. A total combustor airflow through the combustor comprises a pilot swirler airflow that is greater than about 14% of the total combustor airflow and a main mixer airflow that is less than about 50% of the total combustor airflow.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine comprising a fuel nozzle and an annular shroud. The fuel nozzle comprises a centerbody extended along a lengthwise direction. The fuel nozzle defines a nozzle centerline extended through the centerbody of the fuel nozzle along the lengthwise direction. The fuel nozzle defines a plurality of exit openings in circumferential arrangement on the centerbody relative to the nozzle centerline. The annular shroud surrounds the centerbody of the fuel nozzle. At least a portion of the shroud defines a contoured structure defining a waveform.
