Abstract
A swirler includes a base and one or more fins coupled to the base. The swirler also includes a distribution member configured to divert or guide fluid.

A swirler comprising:
- a base comprising a first end opposite a second end along a longitudinal axis of the base, the base including one or more fins oriented along the longitudinal axis from the first end to the second end;
- and
- an annular member coupled to the base and/or the one or more fins, the annular member forming at least a portion of a ring or at least a portion of a cylinder having the longitudinal axis of the base as the axis of the ring or cylinder, the annular member extending partially along a longitudinal length of one of the one or more fins and at least at a midpoint of an entire longitudinal length of the swirler.
A swirler comprising:
- a base comprising a first end opposite a second end along a longitudinal axis of the base, the base including one or more fins oriented along the longitudinal axis from the first end to the second end;
- and an annular member coupled to the fins and/or the base, the annular member forming a ring or a cylinder having the longitudinal axis of the base as the axis of the ring or cylinder, further comprising mesh coupled to the base, the annular member or both, wherein the mesh is positioned within a gap defined by the base and the annular member.
