Abstract
The present invention relates to a fuel nozzle for use in an engine such as a gas turbine engine. The fuel nozzle includes a fuel injector for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine and a plurality of rows of holes surrounding the fuel injector for eliminating recirculation of hot gas products onto a face of the fuel nozzle. The holes eject air primarily in an axial direction.
