A fuel nozzle for a gas turbomachine includes an outer nozzle body including an inner surface defining a mixing zone, and an inner nozzle body arranged within the outer nozzle body. The inner nozzle body includes a fluid passage. At least one flow affector extends from the inner nozzle body to the outer nozzle body. The at least one flow affector includes an inner surface that defines an interior chamber having an inlet fluidly connected to the fluid passage and at least two openings fluidically linking the interior chamber and the mixing zone. One or more flow tuning elements are arranged at the interior chamber upstream of the at least two openings. The one or more flow affectors are configured and disposed to condition a fluid passing into the interior chamber to affect a substantially iso-kinetic distribution of the fluid within the interior chamber.
A fuel nozzle for a gas turbomachine comprising:
A method of establishing an iso-kinetic distribution of fluid within a flow affector of a fuel nozzle for a gas turbomachine, the method comprising:
