Abstract
A fuel swirler with anti-rotation features is provided. A swirler assembly may comprise a swirler, a guide plate, and a retaining ring. The swirler, the guide plate, and/or the retaining ring may comprise recessions configured to receive a retaining element. The retaining element may be configured to interface with the recessions to create an interference in the swirler assembly. The interference may at least partially resist rotation of the guide plate with respect to the swirler.
