Combustor with dilution holes

A combustor of an aircraft engine comprises a liner defining a primary and a dilution zone having a hot surface exposed to a flow of combustion gases traveling from the primary zone downstream to the dilution zone and a cold surface. Dilution holes extending through the liner from the cold to the hot surface delimit the primary from the dilution zone. Effusion holes extending through the liner from the cold to the hot surface direct cooling air into the dilution zone. Two or more rows of effusion holes positioned within three dilution hole diameters downstream of the dilution holes are oriented relative to the liner to direct the cooling air in a cooling direction that is at least one of normal to the direction of the flow of gases passing adjacent the effusion holes, and against the direction of the flow of gases passing adjacent the effusion holes.
