PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved system for injecting a combustible mixture into a combustion gas flow field including a trapped vortex fuel injector disposed downstream from a primary combustion zone, and a method for fabricating the trapped vortex fuel injector.SOLUTION: A trapped vortex fuel injector includes a main body, and the main body has an annular portion 104 and a semi-annular portion 106 coaxially aligned with the annular portion. The semi-annular portion extends downstream from the annular portion. An inner wall 112 and an opposing outer wall 114 of the main body extend between the annular and semi-annular portions. The annular portion at least partially defines a combustion air flow passage through the trapped vortex fuel injector. The semi-annular portion defines a trapped vortex pre-mix zone downstream from the combustion air flow passage. The main body further defines a fuel circuit that is fully circumscribed within the main body and that extends between the annular portion and the semi-annular portion. A plurality of fuel injection ports provide fluid communication between the fuel circuit and the trapped vortex pre-mix zone. The main body may be fabricated using an additive manufacturing process. |
