A low-leakage seal assembly for a turbomachine's combustor-turbine interface. A turbomachine includes a combustion chamber that receives compressed air for combustion from a compressor. The combustion chamber is defined by a combustion liner terminating in a seal ring where the seal ring has an enlarged head that is thicker than the remainder of the seal ring. A transition liner directs combustion gases from the combustion chamber to the turbine and has three walls forming a cavity with an open end. The seal ring extends through the open end and the head nests in the cavity. The transition liner and the seal ring are parts of a low-leakage seal assembly that is exposed on one side to the compressed air and that is exposed on another side to the combustion gases.

A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes an outer liner having a first end interconnected to an opposite second end by an outer liner wall composed of a plurality of outer segments. The inner liner has a first inner end interconnected to an opposite second inner end by an inner liner wall composed of a plurality of inner segments. The outer liner wall and the inner liner wall define a combustion chamber, and each of the outer wall segments extend at an angle of at least 40 degrees relative to a longitudinal axis. The outer wall segments includes a first segment, a second segment that extends at a second angle relative to the first segment, which is less than a third angle defined between the second segment and a third segment and is substantially the same as a fourth angle defined between the third segment and a fourth segment.

A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a forward liner segment having an aft end portion. The forward liner segment at least partially defines a primary combustion chamber. The combustor further includes an aft liner segment having a forward end portion. A channel is defined between the forward liner segment and the aft liner segment. The channel directs a stream of dilution air in a counter-flow or reverse direction with respect to combustion gases flowing from the primary combustion chamber during operation of the combustor.
