A grommet for a combustor of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The grommet includes a lower platform and a raised platform. The lower platform includes a plurality of top slots located in the top surface and a plurality of bottom slots located in the bottom surface. Each top slot and bottom slot may extend radially along the lower platform. The plurality of top slots may be spaced equidistantly from one another along the circumference of the lower platform. The plurality of bottom slots may be spaced equidistantly from one another along the circumference of the lower platform.

A combustor liner assembly includes a liner assembly, including a hot dome, a hot wall, and an impingement shield. The liner assembly further includes a convector assembly. The combustor liner assembly further includes an impingement dome assembly, including a ring-shaped portion defining a plurality of apertures configured to receive a plurality of fuel injectors, and a face. The ring-shaped portion and the face define an annular passage, and the face defines a plurality of apertures and a plurality of orifices. The convector assembly and the impingement dome assembly are operably coupled to one another, and the plurality of orifices of the face are configured such that the hot dome is exposed to air flowing in the annular passage of the impingement dome assembly. The combustor liner assembly is configured to provide flow communication between the annular passage of the impingement dome assembly and the plurality of fuel injectors.
