Abstract
A double annular combustor having concentrically disposed inner and outer annular combustors is provided with inner and outer domes. A centerbody is disposed between the inner and outer domes and is constructed of a plurality of annular segments. Each segment includes an upper wall, a lower wall, an upstream wall and a downstream end. The upper and lower walls include flanges extending therefrom to form cavities, within which are cooling holes. Pins are also provided which extend between the upper and lower walls of the centerbody to augment the cooling and structural connection thereof.
