Abstract
A combustor for a gas turbine is provided. The combustor includes a pre-combustion chamber having a center axis and a swirler which is mounted to the pre-combustion chamber. The swirler surrounds the pre-combustion chamber in a circumferential direction with respect to the center axis. The swirler has a bottom surface which forms a part of a slot through which oxidant/fuel mixture is injectable into the pre-combustion chamber, wherein the bottom surface is located in a bottom plane. The swirler further includes a fuel injector which is arranged to the bottom surface such that a fuel is injectable into the slot with a fuel injection direction, wherein a first component of the fuel injection direction is non-parallel to the normal (n) of the bottom plane.
