Abstract:
A swirler for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler outer body with a swirler threaded section defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis. A bulkhead support shell for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler boss with a boss threaded section defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis. A combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a bulkhead support shell with a swirler boss. The combustor also includes a swirler mountable to the swirler boss at a threaded interface defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis.
Abstract:
A swirler is provided for a gas turbine engine. The swirler includes a swirler body with a threaded section and a multiple of circumferentially arranged tabs operable to flex radially outward. The multiple of circumferentially arranged tabs are radially displaced from the threaded section.

Abstract:
A swirler for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler outer body with a male snap component and/or female snap component of a snap-fit interface defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis. A bulkhead assembly for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler mounted to a bulkhead support shell through a snap-fit interface.
Abstract:
A liner panel is provided for use in a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The liner panel includes a first liner panel side edge between a liner panel aft edge and a liner panel forward edge. The liner panel also includes a second liner panel side edge between the liner panel aft edge and the liner panel forward edge. The first and the second liner panel side edges are non-perpendicular to the liner panel forward and aft edge edges.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a swirler body for a combustor of a gas turbine engine, where the swirler body includes an annular mount face which defines at least one pocket. The disclosure is directed to a swirler assembly for a combustor of a gas turbine engine, where the swirler assembly includes a swirler first body with an annular first mount face which defines at least one first pocket and a swirler second body with an annular second mount face which abuts said annular first mount face, where said second annular mount face defines at least one second pocket. The disclosure is directed to a method of lightening a swirl assembly for a combustor of a gas turbine engine, where the method includes defining at least one pocket within an annular mount face of a swirler body.
