An assembly includes an injection system and an injector for an aircraft turbomachine combustion chamber. The system includes an aerodynamic bowl including a first end widening toward the downstream end and centred on a central axis of the injection system, this also including a central body along which a film of fuel is intended to flow in the downstream direction. The central body includes a second end widening toward the downstream end, the first and second widening ends between them delimiting an air through duct and the system includes motion inducing a device allowing a relative movement between the first widening end which is stationary and the second widening end, along the central axis of the injection system, by moving the central body relative to the injector.

A supersonic combustor containing an injector module, a combustor core and an outer shell. The injector module houses both fuel and oxidizer nozzles. The combustor core contains grooves within which the combustion process takes place. The outer shell holds both the injector module and the combustor core and allows for other cooling, mounting and structural mechanisms required for operation.

The invention relates to an air/fuel injection system for a turbomachine, comprising: —an injector comprising a duct and an injection nose, arranged inside said duct, which extends from upstream to downstream along a longitudinal axis; —a mixer device comprising a bowl comprising an annular inlet, forming the inlet of the mixer device, from which there extends a conical portion flared in the downstream direction, said mixer device being arranged downstream of the injection nose; the injection system being characterized in that the injector comprises an air-injection annulus extending from the duct and from which there extends a connection ring comprising a divergent portion, said ring being arranged externally around the annular inlet of the mixer device.

The proposed solution relates to a nozzle assembly for a combustion chamber of an engine, having at least one nozzle, which includes a nozzle head that extends along a nozzle longitudinal axis and has at least one nozzle exit opening for injecting fuel into a combustion space of the combustion chamber, and at least one air-guiding duct, by way of which a swirl-affected air flow can be created in the direction of the combustion space along an outer lateral surface of the nozzle head.

At least one guide element which protrudes on the outer lateral surface of the nozzle head is in a flow path for the air flow of the at least one air-guiding duct and is configured to guide at least a part of the air flow radially inwards in relation to the nozzle longitudinal axis into a central injection region downstream of the nozzle exit opening.

A ferrule in a fuel-air mixer assembly. The ferrule includes a body having (i) a plurality of channels having sidewalls, the plurality of channels leading to a corresponding plurality of exit openings, the plurality of channels configured to guide a first airflow therein and (ii) a plurality of cascade holes formed within the sidewalls of the plurality of channels and defining a plurality of passageways therein that are transverse to the plurality of channels. The ferrule also includes a plurality of airflow modifiers provided within the plurality of channels. The plurality airflow modifiers are configured to reduce a velocity of the first airflow when the first airflow exits through the plurality of exit openings and to generate low velocity vortex pairs to reduce interaction of the first airflow with a second airflow provided through primary vanes located downstream of the plurality of exit openings of the plurality of channels.
