    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a system comprising: a tank that stores a fluid, and a conduit that includes a first end and a second end, where the conduit is configured to convey at least a portion of the fluid stored in the tank from the second end of the conduit to the first end of the conduit, where a first end region of the conduit coinciding with the second end of the conduit has a first end region density and the fluid has a fluid density, where the first end region density is greater than or equal to the fluid density such that the first end region of the conduit remains immersed in the fluid stored in the tank when the fluid in the tank is under negative gravity conditions.

    Abstract: A combustion liner for an engine includes a shell having an impingement slot disposed therethrough and a panel having an effusion cooling hole disposed therethrough, the effusion cooling hole offset from the impingement slot and configured to create an impingement floatwall film formed between the panel and a combustion chamber of the engine. A length of the impingement slot is longer than a width of the impingement slot, the length and width configured to create turbulent airflow within a flow channel and minimize particulate matter accumulation. In various embodiments, the length of the impingement slot is at least approximately five or ten times longer than the width.

    Abstract: A combustor section of a turbine engine includes a first liner panel including a first portion and a second portion defining a continuous uninterrupted surface. The second portion extends away from the first portion at an angle in cross-section greater than 180 degrees beginning at an inflection point. A combustor assembly for a turbine engine and a method of assembling a combustor for a turbine engine are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine component has a component body configured to be positioned within a flow path of a gas turbine engine having an external pressure, and wherein the component body includes at least one internal cavity having an internal pressure. At least one inlet opening is formed in an outer surface of the component body to direct hot exhaust gas flow into the at least one internal cavity, and there is at least one outlet from the internal cavity. The internal pressure is less than an inlet external pressure at the inlet opening and the internal pressure is greater than an outlet external pressure at the outlet opening to controllably ingest hot exhaust gas via the inlet opening and expel the hot exhaust gas via the outlet opening to maintain a laminar boundary layer along the outer surface of the component body.
