A combustor assembly defining a main combustion zone where fuel and air are burned to create hot combustion products includes a liner, a transition duct, and a transition inlet cone. The liner defines an interior volume including a first portion of the main combustion zone, and has an inlet and an outlet spaced from the inlet in an axial direction. The transition duct includes an inlet section and an outlet section that discharges gases to a turbine section. The inlet section is adjacent to the outlet of the liner and defines a second portion of the main combustion zone. The transition inlet cone is affixed to the transition duct and includes a frusto-conical portion extending axially and radially inwardly into the main combustion zone. The transition inlet cone deflects combustion products that are flowing in a radially outer portion of the main combustion zone toward a combustor assembly central axis. |
