Abstract
A combustion section for gas turbine engine includes an inner liner, an outer liner, and a dome attached to the inner liner and to the outer liner. A heat shield is attached to the dome, with the dome, the heat shield, or both define an opening. The combustion section also includes a fuel nozzle extending at least partially into the opening, the fuel nozzle defining a fuel nozzle axis and a radial direction relative to the fuel nozzle axis. The fuel nozzle defines an aft end, the aft end of the fuel nozzle positioned forward of the aft surface of the heat shield along the fuel nozzle axis such that the aft end of the fuel nozzle defines a minimum separation from the aft surface of the heat shield along the fuel nozzle axis of at least about 0.15 inches.
