In a combustion cylinder, an outer-side region of a cooling part on an outer side with regard to a reference line orthogonal to a radial direction and an axial direction of a gas turbine and passing through a center of a combustor basket, and an inner-side region of the cooling part on an inner side with regard to the reference line are set. A connection angle at an intersection between an extension line of an outer surface of the combustor basket along the axial direction and an inner surface of a combustor transition piece is set. First regions are set at positions near the reference line, and second regions, with a larger connection angle than the first regions, are set at positions farther from the reference line than the first regions. The second regions are set to have a higher flow rate of a cooling medium than the first regions.

A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a combustion chamber defined between an inner shell and an outer shell. The combustor further includes a bulkhead extending between the inner shell and the outer shell. The bulkhead includes a plurality of impingement cooling rings. Each impingement cooling ring of the plurality of impingement cooling rings includes a plurality of impingement cooling holes extending through the bulkhead. The combustor further includes a heat shield panel mounted to the bulkhead so as to define an impingement cooling chamber between the bulkhead and the heat shield panel. The heat shield panel further includes a radial portion between a perimeter and an opening, with respect to an opening center axis, which is free of penetrations. The plurality of impingement cooling holes of each of the plurality of impingement cooling rings are directed toward the radial portion of the heat shield panel.

Combustor panels of gas turbine engines and gas turbine engines are described. The combustor panels include a hot side configured to be exposed to combustion within a gas turbine engine, a cold side opposite the hot side of the combustor panel, the cold side configured to receive cooling flow thereon, and a peak-valley gridded pattern formed on the cold side, the peak-valley gridded pattern comprising a plurality of recessed cells arranged in a grid pattern, with each recessed cell having a peak, angled sidewalls, and an effusion hole located at a bottom of the angled sidewalls.

A transition piece can include: an inner transition piece including an inlet and an outlet; an outer transition piece surrounding the inner transition piece with a flow passage; an outlet fin-pin flow guide disposed on the inner transition piece and located closer to the outlet than the inlet; a first bottom fin disposed at a bottom portion of the inner transition piece; and a second bottom fin disposed at the bottom portion of the inner transition piece, wherein the first bottom fin and the second bottom fin are arranged to be inclined to each other at an acute angle.

Heat shields and methods of cooling a heat shield are provided. A heat shield of a combustor may be cooled. The heat shield comprises a first surface and a second surface, where the first surface is opposite the second surface, and the first surface is configured to face a combustion chamber. The heat shield may be cooled by directing airflow over the heat shield through channels towards an opening of the heat shield and past turbulators located in the channels.

A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a support shell; a first liner panel mounted to the support shell via a multiple of studs, the first liner panel including a first rail that extends from a cold side of the first liner panel such that the rail is non-perpendicular to the cold side and includes a concave surface to at least partially form a curved interface passage; and a second liner panel mounted to the support shell via a multiple of studs, the first liner panel including a second rail that extends from a cold side of the second liner panel and includes a convex surface to at least partially form the curved interface passage.

An apparatus for cooling an engine component such as a turbine engine airfoil, including a wall bounding an interior extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge and radially between a root and a tip. A cooling circuit it located within the interior of the airfoil can include a flow enhancer permitting a volume of fluid, such as air, to pass around the flow enhancer.

A liner panel for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine, including a multiple of heat transfer augmentors located in at least one discrete area of the liner panel. A wall assembly within a gas turbine engine including a support shell, a liner panel mounted to the support shell via a multiple of studs and a multiple of heat transfer augmentors located in at least one discrete area on a cold side of the liner panel, each of the multiple of heat transfer augmentors define a height that extends about half the distance between a cold surface of the liner panel and the support shell.

A combustor heat shield comprises a panel body having a front surface and a back surface. The back surface has rail-less edges and a turbulator band extending inwardly from the rail-less edges. The band includes a plurality of turbulators defining tortuous cooling paths up to the rail-less edges. Effusion holes are distributed over the central area.

In a flange cooling structure of a gas turbine engine, one of a first flange and a second flange is a high pressure flange that faces a first region, and the other of the first flange and the second flange is a low pressure flange that faces a second region. A contact surface of the high pressure flange or a contact surface of the low pressure flange includes a cooling groove that communicates with the first region and the second region.
