Abstract

A combustor wall is provided for a turbine engine and includes a combustor shell and a heat shield. The heat shield is attached to the shell with first and second cavities extending between the shell and the heat shield. The first cavity fluidly couples apertures defined in the shell with the second cavity. The second cavity fluidly couples the first cavity with apertures defined in the heat shield. The shell and the heat shield converge toward one another about the second cavity.
