Abstract

A gas turbine engine combustor having a dome heat shield includes a cooling scheme having a plurality of impingement cooling holes extending through the combustor and a plurality of adjacent ejector holes for directing cooling air past the heat shield lips of the dome heat shields. The impingement and ejector holes are preferably staggered to reduce interaction therebetween.
