Abstract
A combustion liner for use in a combustor assembly is provided. The combustion liner includes a side wall that defines a combustion chamber having a main flow axis extending therethrough. The combustion chamber channels a flow of combustion gas therethrough along a mixer swirl flow axis oriented obliquely relative to the main flow axis. The combustion liner also includes film cooling holes defined within the side wall. The film cooling holes are configured to discharge a pressurized fluid jet into the combustion chamber, and arranged in at least a first row and a second row positioned a first distance from the first row. The film cooling holes are arranged such that, when mixed with the flow of combustion gas, the pressurized fluid jet discharged from film cooling holes in the first row is directed along a discharge flow axis misaligned from film cooling holes in the second row.
