Abstract
The liner supporting structure for the annular combustor of the present invention has a flexible connection member of connecting a structural body constituting a part of the combustor to a liner, the connection member having a first end positioned on a side of the structural body and a second end positioned on a side of the liner, the second end being disposed on an outer surface of an end part of the liner positioned on the side of the structural body; a first fixing means of fixing the first end of the connection member to the structural body; and a second fixing means of fixing the second end of the connection member to the end part of the liner. According to the present invention, even in the case that there is a large difference in linear expansion coefficient between the materials of the liner and the structural body of the combustor for supporting the liner so that a relative displacement is generated between the two due to temperature changes, the structural body of the combustor can strongly support the liner without applying excessive stress to the liner formed by, for example, a ceramics material.
