Abstract: A combustor for a turbine engine includes a main combustion chamber, an annular dome, and a secondary combustion chamber positioned downstream of the annular dome. A plurality of first mixing assemblies are disposed through the annular dome and include a pilot mixer. The pilot mixer injects a pilot mixer fuel-air mixture axially into the main combustion chamber and generates a first recirculation zone within the main combustion chamber. A plurality of second mixing assemblies are disposed at the secondary combustion chamber axially aft of the first mixing assemblies and include a main mixer. The main mixer injects a main mixer fuel-air mixture into the secondary combustion chamber to produce combustion gases and to generate a second recirculation zone within the secondary combustion chamber axially aft of the first recirculation zone. The secondary combustion chamber injects the combustion gases into the main combustion chamber.

Abstract: A swirler assembly includes a swirler having primary swirler with a primary swirler venturi, a swirler ferrule plate connected to the primary swirler, and a fuel nozzle disposed in the swirler ferrule plate. The swirler ferrule plate has an aft wall, an annular conical wall, and an annular cavity wall that together form an annular cavity. The annular cavity includes a plurality of inlet orifices, and at least one outlet orifice. A flow of oxidizer through the plurality of inlet orifices into the annular cavity incurs a first pressure drop from a first pressure of a pressure plenum to a second pressure lower than the first pressure, and a flow of the oxidizer from the annular cavity through the at least one outlet orifice into the primary swirler venturi incurs a second pressure drop from the second pressure to a third pressure lower than the second pressure.
