Abstract
A combustor liner includes a heat shield, a shell, a series of trip strips, and a series of projecting walls. The heat shield has a shield cold side. The shell is attached to the heat shield and includes a shell hot side facing the shield cold side, a shell cold side facing away from the shield cold side, and a row of cooling holes. The trip strips run parallel to each other and all project from the shield cold side the same distance. Each projecting wall runs parallel to, and opposite of, a corresponding trip strip and projects from the shell hot side such that the distance to which each projecting wall projects is greater for projecting walls farther from the row of cooling holes, creating successive gaps between the projecting walls and corresponding trip strips that decrease from the row of cooling holes to create a convergent channel.
