Abstract
A plurality of circumferentially spaced props are attached to the outer overlapping segments of a combustor liner to prevent the thermal outward growth of the inner segment. Placement of the props on the outer segment allows them to remain relatively cool to thereby minimize stresses and, when combined with a liner design which centrifuges the cooling air to the radially inner side of the cooling slot, such placement coincides with a separation bubble so as to minimize flow blockage and resulting hot streaks.
