<p>A combustion method and combustor for use in a jet engine, the jet engine having a compressor portion and a turbine portion. The combustor includes an outer tube having a central axis that extends longitudinally intermediate the compressor portion and turbine portion and is positioned to receive air discharged by the compressor portion. An inner tube is positioned within the outer tube that includes an associated outer surface spaced from the inner surface of the outer tube thereby defining a combustion chamber. The outer tube and inner tube include fluid directing structure for communicating at least some of the air discharged by the compressor portion to the combustion chamber. The fluid directing structure directs air into the combustion chamber in a direction offset from the central axis, thereby causing rotation or swirling of the air about the central axis.</p> |
