Engine fuel nozzle and swirler assembly including a splitter

A fuel nozzle and swirler assembly for an engine, the fuel nozzle and swirler assembly comprising:

• a fuel nozzle defining a longitudinal axis and a radial axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, the fuel nozzle defining first and second fluid flows;
• a swirler circumscribing the fuel nozzle to define a swirler passage having a radial height H extending radially between a surface of the fuel nozzle and a surface of the swirler, the swirler configured to impart a tangential component, tangent to the radial axis, to a fluid passing through the swirler;
• and
• a splitter disposed radially between the fuel nozzle and the swirler, the splitter separating the swirler into an outer diameter passage defining an outer portion of the radial height H that extends from an outer surface of the splitter to the surface of the swirler and an inner diameter passage defining an inner portion of the radial height H that extends from the surface of the fuel nozzle to an inner surface of the splitter.
