Abstract
By installing a cylinder 53x having a bell-mouth construction to the downstream side of a combustor basket 2a and by providing different level to the downstream-side end of the cylinder 53x, notches 60 are constructed. The notches 60 form fixed vortices in the compressed air, and the vortices enable the compressed air to determine the flow direction thereof so as to flow toward the tips of the main nozzles 22.
