Abstract
A flare cone for a mixer assembly includes an annular conical wall extending circumferentially about a mixer assembly centerline, the annular conical wall including a conical inner surface defining a conical opening of the annular conical wall, and an annular axial wall extending in a longitudinal direction with respect to the mixer assembly centerline, the annular axial wall disposed at a radially outward portion of the annular conical wall and connected to the annular conical wall. The annular conical wall and the annular axial wall define an annular step circumferentially about the mixer assembly centerline and extending upstream in the longitudinal direction between a downstream end of the annular conical wall and an aft surface of the annular axial wall.
