Abstract
A gas turbine engine combustor has a dome and a shell extending axially from the dome. The dome and the shell cooperates to define a combustion chamber. A dome heat shield is mounted to the dome inside the combustion chamber. A front heat shield is mounted to the shell inside the combustion chamber. The dome heat shield and the front heat shield have axially overlapping portions cooperating to define a flow guiding channel. The flow guiding channel has a length (L) and a height (h). The length (L) is at least equal to the height (h).
