Abstract
A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a liner and a combustor dome. The combustor dome and liner together at least in part define a combustion chamber. The combustor dome includes a transition portion and a forward wall. The transition portion extends from the forward wall towards the liner. Additionally the transition portion may define an angle relative to the forward wall and/or may define a radius of curvature between the forward wall of the combustor dome and a flat of the transition portion of the combustor dome for increasing an aerodynamic efficiency of the combustor dome.
