Abstract:
Combustor assemblies are provided. An exemplary combustor assembly comprises an annular ceramic matrix composite (CMC) inner liner including an inner liner flange, an annular CMC outer liner including an outer liner flange, and an annular CMC combustor dome comprising a plurality of tiles positioned circumferentially adjacent one another. Each tile has a first end radially opposite a second end. The CMC inner liner, outer liner, and combustor dome form a combustor, and the CMC combustor dome is positioned at a combustor forward end. The combustor assembly also comprises a support structure for supporting the combustor and including an annular frame having a frame channel defining a groove and an inner and outer support flanges. The first end of each tile is disposed within the frame channel groove. The inner liner flange is secured to the inner support flange and the outer liner flange is secured to the outer support flange.
