A combustor for a gas turbine includes: a flange portion to be mounted to a casing; an extension portion having an annular shape and extending from the flange portion along an axial direction of the combustor; a pipe portion having a first end connected to the flange portion and a second end connected to an outer peripheral surface of the extension portion, the pipe portion extending from the first end to the second end at an outer side of the extension portion in a radial direction; and at least one fuel nozzle configured to receive supply of a fuel via the pipe portion and a passage disposed inside the extension portion.

A free-vortex combustor is disclosed that generates vortices which: enhance fuel air mixing, recirculate the air, provide cooling for the combustor walls, and provide low emissions and a substantially uniform exit temperature profile. The combustor is provided fuel or fuel and air through a fuel-injector which atomizes the fuel. A first air swirler couples to the fuel-injector with a prechamber wall abutting the first swirler. A second swirler abuts a downstream end of the prechamber wall. And, a main chamber abuts the second swirler. Each of the first and second swirlers have features that cause the flow to create a vortex in the prechamber and main chamber, respectively. The features creating the swirl are blades or angled orifices. The vortex causes a pressure depression along the centerline and causes backflow along the centerline that improves mixing and improves cooling.
