Abstract
Method and computer-readable model for additively manufacturing a ducting arrangement () in a combustion stage are provided. The ducting arrangement may include a combustor wall () in a combustion stage fluidly coupled to receive a cross-flow of combustion products (). An injector assembly () may be in fluid communication with cooling fluid conduits () in the combustor wall to receive cooling fluid that passes through the cooling fluid conduits. The injector assembly may include means for injecting () a flow of the cooling fluid () arranged to condition interaction of a flow of reactants () injected with the cross-flow of combustion products. Respective duct components or the entire ducting arrangement may be formed as a unitized structure, such as a single piece using a rapid manufacturing technology, such as 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies.
