Abstract
A gas turbine engine has a combustor module including an annular combustor having a liner assembly that defines an annular combustion chamber and includes a circumferential row of a plurality of relatively large combustion dilution air admission holes and a circumferential row of a plurality of smaller quench air admission holes disposed downstream with respect to the flow of combustion gas products. The plurality of quench air admission holes are arranged with respect to the plurality of relatively large dilution air admission holes disposed upstream thereof such that there is associated with each dilution air admission hole a first quench air admission hole and a second quench air hole, the first quench air hole being offset laterally in a first lateral direction and the second quench air hole being offset laterally in a second lateral direction opposite to the first direction.
