Abstract

A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a first liner having a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a wall having a thickness defined between the first surface and the second surface. The first liner defines a plurality of effusion cooling holes, and at least one of the effusion cooling holes includes an inlet section spaced apart from the first surface, and a converging section downstream of the inlet section. The inlet section and the converging section are each defined so as to be outside of the thickness. The at least one of the effusion cooling holes includes a metering section downstream of the converging section and a portion of the metering section is defined within the thickness. The at least one of the effusion cooling holes includes an outlet section downstream of the metering section. The outlet section is proximate to the second surface.
