Abstract
A combustion system is provided having a liner, a flow sleeve, a flow-obstructing element, and a venturi. The liner is disposed around a combustion region. The flow sleeve is disposed around the liner. The liner and the flow sleeve cooperate to create an air passage having an airflow located between the liner and the flow sleeve. The flow-obstructing element is disposed within the air passage, and generally obstructs the airflow in the air passage to create wakes in the airflow. The venturi is disposed downstream from the flow-obstructing element, and generally restricts and diffuses the airflow in the air passage to reduce wakes in the airflow.
