Abstract
A gas turbine combustor includes inner and outer liners that are concentric and cylindrical, and an end liner closing between upstream ends thereof and forming a hollow cylindrical combustion chamber therein, and a swirling air flow forming device introducing combustion air about the end liner from outside and forming a swirling air flow, a fuel ejector ejecting fuel in the swirling direction to form a premixed swirling flow, and an igniter igniting the premixed swirling flow to form a tubular flame surface. The combustion chamber includes a primary combustion chamber, a secondary combustion chamber disposed downstream of the primary combustion chamber, and an annular restrictor reducing the outer diameter of the primary combustion chamber and disposed therebetween. A diluting air hole, supplying diluting air along a flow of the combustion gas passing through the restrictor, is disposed downstream of the restrictor in the inner liner.
