    Abstract: A fuel injector assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a swirler and a fuel nozzle. The swirler has an outer wall having a SOW inner wall surface, an inner wall having a SIW inner wall surface and a SIW outer wall surface, an outer passage, and an inner passage. The SIW inner wall surface includes first and second sections. The first section extends between a first airflow inlet and the second section, and the second section extends between the first section and an inner wall distal end. The first section tapers radially inward, and the second section extends parallel the center axis. The outer wall circumscribes the inner wall and extends axially along the center axis to a distal outer wall end, and the distal end wall is axially recessed within the swirler from the distal outer wall end. The fuel nozzle projects into the inner passage.

    Abstract: An assembly is provided for a gas turbine engine. This engine assembly includes a fuel injector assembly, and the fuel injector assembly includes a fuel swirler and an air swirler. The fuel swirler is configured to swirl fuel in a direction about the axis to provide swirled fuel. The fuel injector assembly is configured to inject the swirled fuel as an annular fuel flow along an axis. The air swirler is configured to swirl air in the direction about the axis to provide swirled air. The fuel injector assembly is configured to inject the swirled air as an annular air flow along the axis, adjacent and circumscribing the annular fuel flow.

    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine apparatus includes a combustor wall, and the combustor wall includes a panel, a deflector and a quench aperture that extends along an aperture centerline through the combustor wall to an aperture outlet into a combustion chamber. The panel extends axially along and circumferentially about an axis. The panel extends radially between a first panel side and a second panel side. The first panel side forms a peripheral boundary of the combustion chamber. The panel forms a downstream side of the aperture outlet at the first panel side. The deflector projects out from the panel at the first panel side into the combustion chamber. The deflector forms an upstream side of the aperture outlet.

    Abstract: An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes an air swirler structure, an injector nozzle and a nozzle guide. The air swirler structure includes a swirler wall, an inner passage and an air swirler passage. The swirler wall includes a flow guide surface. At least an inner portion of the flow guide surface has a frustoconical geometry. The inner passage extends axially along an axis within the air swirler structure to a swirler outlet. The air swirler passage extends radially into the air swirler structure, longitudinally along the flow guide surface and to the inner passage. The injector nozzle projects axially into the inner passage. The nozzle guide couples the injector nozzle to the air swirler structure. The nozzle guide is axially abutted against the swirler wall.
