A liner for a combustor in a gas turbine engine and a related method. The liner includes a liner body having a cold side and a hot side. The liner includes a dilution array having a plurality of dilution passages, each dilution passage of the plurality of dilution passages having a concatenated geometry repeating in a predetermined pattern and extending circumferentially around the liner body. The dilution passage integrates a first dilution air flow flowing through the dilution passage from the cold side to the hot side and a second dilution air flow flowing through the dilution passage from the cold side to the hot side into an integrated dilution air flow and injects the integrated dilution air flow into a core primary combustion zone of the combustor to attain a predetermined combustion state of the combustor. The dilution array is repeated along an axial length of the liner body.
