Abstract
An assembly for a turbine engine includes a combustor wall. The combustor wall includes a shell, a heat shield and an annular land. The heat shield is attached to the shell. The land extends vertically between the shell and the heat shield. The land extends laterally between a land outer surface and an inner surface, which at least partially defines a quench aperture in the combustor wall. A lateral distance between the land outer surface and the inner surface varies around the quench aperture.

An assembly for a turbine engine, the assembly comprising:
- a combustor wall including a shell, a heat shield and an annular land;
- the heat shield attached to the shell;
- and
- the land extending vertically between the shell and the heat shield and laterally between a land outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface at least partially defining a quench aperture in the combustor wall;
- wherein a lateral distance between the land outer surface and the inner surface varies around the quench aperture.
An assembly for a turbine engine, the assembly comprising:
- a combustor wall including a shell, a heat shield and an annular land;
- the heat shield attached to the shell;
- and
- the land extending between the shell and the heat shield, and at least partially defining a quench aperture in the combustor wall;
- wherein the land is aligned with an aperture defined by a surface of the shell, and the land has a land outer surface with a cross-sectional geometry that comprises a different shape than a cross-sectional geometry of the surface of the shell.
A heat shield for a turbine engine combustor wall through which a quench aperture radially extends, the heat shield comprising:
- a heat shield panel including a panel base and a plurality of rails, each of the rails extending radially from the panel base;
- and
- an annular land connected to the panel base and located between the rails, the land extending laterally between a land outer surface and an inner surface that at least partially defines the quench aperture;
- wherein a lateral distance between the land outer surface and the inner surface changes as the land extends around the inner surface.
