Abstract
A combustor for a gas turbine engine is provided. The combustor includes a forward bulkhead, an inner radial combustor wall, and an outer radial combustor wall. The bulkhead includes a plurality of circumferentially disposed injector apertures. The inner radial combustor wall includes a plurality of inner quench aperture sets. Each inner quench aperture set includes a first inner quench aperture and a second inner quench aperture separated from each other by an inner interset distance. Each inner quench aperture set is separated from an adjacent inner quench aperture set by an inner intraset distance. The inner intraset distance is different than the inner interset distance. The outer radial combustor wall includes a plurality of circumferentially disposed outer quench apertures. The outer radial combustor wall is disposed radially outside of the inner radial combustor wall, thereby defining an annular combustion region therebetween.
