    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a core cowl and a core contained within the core cowl. The core includes a compressor in fluid communication with a downstream combustor and a downstream turbine, the compressor including a compressor bleed port, wherein an undercowl space is defined between the core cowl and the core. The gas turbine engine further includes a cooling duct disposed at least partially in the undercowl space and having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the cooling duct is in fluid communication with a source of cooling air and is further in fluid communication with the compressor bleed port; a valve assembly including at least one valve disposed in the cooling duct; and a cooling blower disposed within the engine and operable to move an air flow from the inlet of the cooling duct towards the outlet of the cooling duct and through the compressor bleed port.

    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.

    Abstract: A combustor of a turbine engine combusts fuel and air. The combustor includes a dome and a heat shield fastened to the dome. The heat shield is unconstrained relative to dome, to permit relative thermal expansion and contraction in a radial direction. A heat shield inner portion is generally annular in shape, is arranged about a dome eyelet longitudinal centerline axis, is smaller in diameter than a dome inner portion, and is assembled inside of the dome inner portion. A plurality of pinned assemblies fastens the heat shield to dome. Each pinned assembly includes a fastener with a pin end, the pin end assembled in a clearance fit into a hole in the heat shield inner portion. The fastener is fixed to the dome inner portion, the pin end sliding in the hole in the heat shield during relative thermal expansion and contraction between the dome and the heat shield.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine. The combustor assembly includes a fuel nozzle comprising a centerbody extended along a lengthwise direction, wherein the fuel nozzle defines a nozzle centerline extended through the centerbody along the lengthwise direction. The centerbody defines a plurality of exit openings in circumferential arrangement relative to the nozzle centerline. The plurality of exit openings defines two or more locations different from one another on the centerbody along the lengthwise direction.
