Abstract
An annular combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine establishes two toroidal primary combustion zones. This provides high combustion capacity in a short combustor. Airflow is introduced in a manner to establish the flow pattern of the vortices, and the fuel is introduced in a manner avoiding destruction of the vortices.
