Turbulence generating structure for liner cooling enhancement and gas turbine combustor having the same
A turbulence generating structure for liner cooling enhancement is a liner cooling structure applied to a double-structured side portion formed by a liner and a flow sleeve and includes the liner and a first turbulence generator protruding from a surface space of the liner and including a plurality of ribs arranged in an axial direction, each of the ribs comprising blocks arranged at regular distances in the axial direction and interspaced by cooling holes. The ribs include a first set of adjacent ribs separated by a first passage distance, the first passage distance being repeated in a circumferential direction, and a second set of adjacent ribs separated by a second passage distance, the second passage distance being repeated in the circumferential direction, wherein the first and second sets of adjacent ribs have exactly one rib in common, and the first passage distance is greater than the second passage distance.

GUIDING DEVICE IN A COMBUSTION CHAMBER
The present disclosure provides devices for guiding an element in a combustion chamber wall opening. Between the welds or brazes joining a bushing with a cup and the trajectory of the ring edge, an intermediate space is reserved in an internal annular groove for said welds or brazes to protrude into, so that said welds or brazes lie outside the trajectory of the ring edge.
