Combustor with alternating dilution fence
A combustor liner for a combustor of a gas turbine includes an outer liner and an inner liner. At least one of the outer liner and the inner liner has an upstream liner portion and a downstream liner portion with an annular gap therebetween. At least one dilution flow assembly is arranged to bridge across the annular gap. The at least one dilution flow assembly includes an upstream liner panel and a downstream liner panel with a dilution opening provided between the upstream liner panel and the downstream liner panel, and a plurality of dilution fence members arranged within the dilution opening and extending into a combustion chamber. The plurality of dilution fence members are arranged in successive arrangement in a circumferential direction and are arranged such that successive dilution fence members are alternatingly offset in an axial direction.
FUEL INJECTOR, COMBUSTOR INCLUDING THE FUEL INJECTOR, AND GAS TURBINE INCLUDING THE COMBUSTOR
A fuel injector has a body extending in an axial direction. The body includes: an axial passage formed so as to extend in the axial direction; a radial passage formed so as to communicate at one end with the axial passage and to open at another end to an outer surface of the body; and an internal passage including a first opening and a second opening open to the outer surface, and formed so as to extend inside the body from the first opening to the second opening. The first opening and the second opening are located opposite to each other across a third opening, through which the radial passage opens to the outer surface, in a circumferential direction centered on an axis of the body.

Multi-Nozzle Fuel Injection Method for Gas Turbine
Disclosed is a fuel mixed injection method for a gas turbine. The method includes the following steps: arranging a secondary fuel injection nozzle and a secondary air injection nozzle on a secondary combustion section, wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzles is closer to a main combustion section than the secondary air injection nozzle; and injecting secondary fuel and secondary primary air in sequence through the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle, respectively, thus enabling the secondary fuel to spontaneously combust in a mainstream high-temperature flue gas atmosphere to form a transverse jet flame and increase the flame lift-off height.
