The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a fuel injector for a gas turbine engine includes a fuel injector housing, and an elongated fuel tube held in position in said housing by spaced apart joints and including an undulating tube surface along at least a portion of its length between said joints, said undulating tube surface being in contact with another surface disposed in said housing at one or more locations of said undulating tube surface.

A combustor assembly includes a combustion liner defining a first radial opening, an outer sleeve that at least partially surrounds the combustion liner. The outer sleeve defines a second radial opening. A mounting body having a jacket portion and a flange portion surrounds the first radial opening and extends radially outwardly from an outer surface of the combustion liner towards the outer sleeve. The flange portion is at least partially disposed within the second radial opening. An auxiliary component extends radially within the jacket portion and includes a flange portion. The flange portion of the auxiliary component is connected to the flange portion of the mounting body via a first fastener, and the flange portion of the auxiliary component is connected to the outer sleeve via a second fastener.

A gas turbine combustor includes a plurality of fuel nozzles, an air hole plate, a plate lip that covers an outer circumference side of the air hole plate, and an outer channel that supplies compressed air to an outer circumferential part of a portion on the plate lip side of the combustion chamber. The outer circumferential surface of the air hole plate includes a first surface joined to the plate lip and a second surface located further on the radial direction inner side of the air hole plate than the first surface to form a space between the second surface and the inner circumferential surface of the plate lip. A communicating hole that communicates the outer channel and the space is provided in the plate lip.

A wall panel assembly includes a first liner panel and a coating. The first liner panel has an inner first liner panel surface and a first liner panel outer surface each axially extending between a first liner panel first end and a first liner panel second end. The coating is disposed on at least one of the first liner panel inner surface and the first liner panel outer surface. The coating has an overall thickness that varies axially between the first liner panel first end and the first liner panel second end.

A nozzle for a fuel injector of a gas turbine engine, the nozzle having an insulating air gap adjacent a conduit for carrying fuel, the air gap formed between a pair of concentrically arranged annular walls, wherein the pair of annular walls are arranged to move independently to accommodate differential thermal expansion, the nozzle further including: a channel extending circumferentially around a surface a first of the pair of annular walls, facing a second of the pair of annular walls; and a sealing member received in the channel, to close the insulating gap.

A heat shield panel for use in a gas turbine engine combustor is disclosed. The heat shield panel includes a hot side, a cold side and at least one attachment mechanism having a stud and a central axis extending through the stud and a plurality of standoff pins positioned circumferentially around the stud, the standoff pins having a radial extent, a circumferential extent that is greater than the radial extent, a radially outer surface having a radially convex shape and a radially inner surface having a radially concave shape.

A combustor of a gas turbine includes a nozzle plate to accommodate an arrangement of fuel injection nozzles; an outer cap coupled with the nozzle plate while surrounding an outer circumferential periphery of the nozzle plate; a plurality of first protrusions radially protruding from the outer cap toward a center of the outer cap, the first protrusions arranged in a circumferential direction of the outer cap; and a plurality of first guide holes arranged at the outer circumferential periphery of the nozzle plate in a circumferential direction, to be respectively engaged with the first protrusions. Each first guide hole communicates with a linear recess and with a first fixing recess disposed at an end of the linear recess. The combustor, and a gas turbine including the combustor, evenly distribute stress to the nozzle plate and the outer cap, while minimizing thermal deformation of combustor components in a high-temperature operating environment.

Flow path assemblies and gas turbine engines are provided. A flow path assembly may comprise a combustor dome positioned at a forward end of a combustor of a combustion section of a gas turbine engine, and a unitary outer wall including a combustor portion extending through the combustion section and a turbine portion extending through at least a first turbine stage of a turbine section of the gas turbine engine. The combustor portion and the turbine portion are integrally formed as a single unitary structure. The flow path assembly also comprises an inner wall extending from the forward end of the combustor through at least the combustion section. The combustor dome extends radially from the unitary outer wall to the inner wall and is configured to move axially with respect to the inner wall and the unitary outer wall. Other flow path assemblies and gas turbine engine configurations are provided.

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.
