Abstract
A gas turbine engine combustor has a shell defining a combustion chamber having a primary zone and a dilution zone downstream of the primary zone. The shell has an outer skin and an inner skin defining an air gap therebetween. The inner skin in the upstream portion of the primary zone is free from effusion holes and has heat transfer augmenters projecting from a back side thereof into the air gap. Effusion holes in the inner skin are only disposed downstream towards the tail end of the primary zone in order to delay the injection of any disruptive cooling air that could potentially interfere with the combustion process.
