Abstract
A combustor includes outer and inner liners joined at one end to an annular dome. A swirl cup is mounted to the dome and includes a flare cone extending therethrough. The flare cone has an obtuse flare angle for discharging fuel in a wide spray from an outlet of the cone. A flared beat shield surrounds the cone, and extends in part aft from the cone outlet, and is offset in part forwardly from the cone outlet to define a radially outwardly facing step.
