    Abstract: A swirler-ferrule assembly includes a radial swirler, a ferrule, a fuel nozzle, and a surface feature. The radial swirler includes a primary swirler vane having a primary air passage and a secondary swirler vane having a secondary air passage. The ferrule may be connected to the radial swirler. The surface feature may be located on the primary swirler vane and/or the ferrule. The surface feature may be configured to direct an air flow through the primary air passage away from a recirculation zone located upstream of the primary swirler vane. The surface feature has a trailing end and a distal end, and the fuel nozzle is axially aligned with the trailing end of the surface feature or is located axially downstream of the trailing end of the surface feature. The surface feature may have a plurality of grooves.

    Abstract: A combustor having a main chamber and a trapped vortex cavity. The main chamber includes an outer liner and an inner liner. The trapped vortex cavity extends from at least one of the outer liner or the inner liner. A plurality of mixing assemblies operably injects a fuel-air mixture into the trapped vortex cavity to produce combustion gases. The trapped vortex cavity injects the combustion gases into the main chamber. A steam system is in fluid communication with the main chamber. The steam system operably injecting steam into the main chamber such that the steam flows downstream of the trapped vortex cavity.

    Abstract: A heat shield for a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The heat shield includes an annular ring having an axial direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction. The annular ring includes a plurality of circumferential segments. Each circumferential segment of the plurality of circumferential segments is disconnected from an adjacent circumferential segment of the plurality of circumferential segments to allow for thermal growth of each circumferential segment during operation of the combustor.

    Abstract: A combustor includes a combustion chamber and an annular dome. The combustion chamber includes an outer liner and an inner liner and has a combustion zone. The annular dome is coupled to the outer liner and the inner liner. A plurality of mixing assemblies operably injects a fuel-air mixture into the combustion zone of the combustion chamber to produce combustion gases. A combustor steam system is in fluid communication with the combustion chamber. The combustor steam system includes a steam path defined by at least one of the outer liner, the inner liner, or the annular dome. The combustor steam system operably directs steam through the steam path from the at least one of the outer liner, the inner liner, or the annular dome and into the combustion chamber.

    Abstract: A turbine engine and method for controlling nitrogen oxides present within a combustor of the turbine engine. The turbine engine having a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement along an engine centerline. The combustion section having a combustor liner having a first end, a second end, opposing the first end, and at least partially defining a combustion chamber extending between the first and second ends. A dome assembly is mounted to the combustor liner at the first end and defines a dome inlet of the combustion chamber. There are multiple sets of dilution holes including a first set of dilution holes provided in the combustor liner downstream from the dome inlet and a second set of dilution holes provided in the combustor liner between the first set of dilution holes and the dome inlet.
