Abstract: A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a dome having a forward surface and an inner surface. The forward surface and the inner surface of the dome at least partially define a slot. The combustor assembly also includes a liner at least partially defining a combustion chamber and extending between an aft end and a forward end. The forward end of the liner is positioned within the slot of the dome. The forward end of the liner includes an axial interface surface and a radial interface surface. The axial interface surface defines a radial gap with the inner surface of the dome and the radial interface surface defines an axial gap with the forward surface of the dome. At least one of the radial gap or the axial gap is less than about 0.150 inches during operating conditions of the combustor assembly to prevent an undesirable airflow.

Abstract: A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine is provided. The combustor assembly generally includes an annular dome and a liner. The liner at least partially defines a combustion chamber and includes the forward end received within a slot defined by the annular dome. A mounting assembly attaches the forward end of the liner to the annular dome. The mounting assembly includes a pin extending through the slot and the forward end of the annular dome. The mounting assembly also includes a grommet positioned in an opening in the forward end of the liner. The grommet is also positioned around the pin to protect the liner during operation of the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: Components and methods for forming components are provided. For example, a method for forming a component includes laying up a plurality of plies to form a component preform that defines an axis of symmetry and a circumferential direction. Laying up the plurality of plies includes overlapping ends of the plurality of plies to define overlap regions and offsetting the overlap regions along the circumferential direction such that any radial line drawn from the axis of symmetry through the plies passes through only one overlap region. In another embodiment, a component includes a body that is symmetric about an axis of symmetry and that defines a circumferential direction and a radial direction. The body is formed from a plurality of plies and has a substantially uniform thickness. Ends of the plurality of plies are overlapped to define a plurality of overlap regions, which are offset along the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine is provided having a combustion section with a liner extending between a forward end and an aft end. A structural member is positioned in or around at least a portion of the combustion section. Additionally, a piston ring holder is provided attached to the structural member at a first end and positioned proximate to the aft end of the liner at a second end. The piston ring holder is a bimetallic member including a first portion formed of a first material and a second portion formed of a second material. A coefficient of thermal expansion of the first material is different than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the second material.

Abstract: Combustor assemblies having heat shields heat shield attachment features are provided. For example, a combustor assembly includes a dome plate defining first and second apertures, and a heat shield defining first and second openings. The heat shield includes a first cup extending about the first opening and a second cup extending about the second opening. The combustor assembly further includes a collar having a first frame at least partially surrounding the first cup and a second frame at least partially surrounding the second cup. The collar includes a first fastening feature and the dome plate includes a second fastening feature. The first fastening feature mates with the second fastening feature to couple the heat shield to the dome plate. The combustor assembly also may include an attachment piece configured to couple the heat shield to the dome plate. Methods for forming ceramic matrix composite (CMC) heat shields also are provided.

Abstract: A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a dome defining a slot. The combustor assembly also includes a liner at least partially defining a combustion chamber and extending between an aft end and a forward end. At least a portion of the forward end is received within the slot of the dome. The forward end of the liner defines a plurality of warming holes that allow for a warming airflow to flow therethrough to warm the forward end at a faster rate during transient operating conditions of the engine thereby reducing transient stresses and increasing liner durability.

Abstract: A combustion liner for use in a combustor assembly is provided. The combustion liner includes a side wall that defines a combustion chamber having a main flow axis extending therethrough. The combustion chamber channels a flow of combustion gas therethrough along a mixer swirl flow axis oriented obliquely relative to the main flow axis. The combustion liner also includes film cooling holes defined within the side wall. The film cooling holes are configured to discharge a pressurized fluid jet into the combustion chamber, and arranged in at least a first row and a second row positioned a first distance from the first row. The film cooling holes are arranged such that, when mixed with the flow of combustion gas, the pressurized fluid jet discharged from film cooling holes in the first row is directed along a discharge flow axis misaligned from film cooling holes in the second row.
