See full text

A fuel nozzle for a gas turbine engine combustor includes a fuel nozzle assembly including an inflow tube disposed along and a nozzle axis, the inflow tube defining an inner air passage, and a liquid swirler concentrically disposed about the inflow tube, the liquid swirler including a liquid swirler inner wall, liquid swirler outer wall having a liquid swirler outer wall end portion angled radially inward toward the nozzle axis, and an annular liquid passage defined therebetween. The fuel nozzle assembly further includes a radial air swirler (RAS) concentrically disposed about the liquid swirler outer wall, the RAS including an RAS inner wall having an RAS inner wall end portion angled radially inward toward the nozzle axis such that it is parallel to the liquid swirler outer wall end portion, an RAS outer wall having an end cap at a downstream-most position, and an annular gas passage defined therebetween. The end cap includes a radiused inner surface and an outer surface.
