Abstract
A combustor liner for use in a gas turbine engine includes a first annular panel section having a forward end, an aft end and a first cooling nugget located at the forward end thereof, and a second annular panel section having a forward end, an aft end and a second cooling nugget located at the forward end thereof. The second panel section is joined at its forward end to the aft end of the first panel section. A first row of cooling holes is located in the first cooling nugget, and a second row of cooling holes is located in the second cooling nugget. A group of dilution holes is located in the first panel section. The dilution holes are located at the aft end of the first panel section, immediately upstream of the second cooling nugget. Furthermore, each one of the dilution holes defines an aftmost edge, and all of the aftmost edges are axially aligned, even if the dilution holes have different hole diameters.
