The turbomachine comprises basically a low pressure compressor 14, a high pressure compressor 16, acombustion chamber 18, a high pressure turbine 20 and a low pressure turbine 22. The turbomachine is surrounded by a nacelle 24 surrounding the flow space 26 of the fan flow. The turbomachine rotors are installed free to rotate about alongitudinal axis 28 of the turbomachine. -
FIG. 2 shows thecombustion chamber 18 of the turbomachine inFIG. 1 . Conventionally, this combustion chamber that is of the annular type, comprises two coaxial annular walls, the radiallyinner wall 32 and the radiallyouter wall 34, that extend along the upstream todownstream direction 36 of the core engine gas flow in the turbomachine, about the centreline of the combustion chamber that is coincident with theaxis 28 of the turbomachine. These inner annular 32 and outer annular 34 walls are connected to each other at their upstream end by an annularchamber dome wall 40 that extends approximately radially about theaxis 28. This annularchamber dome wall 40 is fitted withinjection systems 42 distributed around theaxis 28 to enable injection of a premix of air and fuel centred on aninjection axis 44. - During operation,
part 46 of anairflow 48 from the compressor 16supplies injection systems 42 while anotherpart 50 of this airflow bypasses the combustion chamber flowing in the downstream direction along thecoaxial walls walls -
FIG. 3 is an axial half-sectional view of one of theinjection systems 42. In general, this injection system comprises abushing 54, sometimes called the <<sliding crossing>>, inside which afuel injector head 52, anannular air inlet 56 and abowl 58, sometimes called the “mixer bowl” are installed. These elements are centred on theinjection axis 44 defined by thefuel injector head 52. - Throughout the following description, the <<upstream>> and <<downstream>> directions are defined within the injection system with reference to fuel injection along the
injection axis 44. - The
annular air inlet 56 comprises anannular separation wall 60 that divides the annular air inlet into an upstreamair circulation space 62 and a downstreamair circulation space 64. These two spaces are frequently called <<swirler sections>>. - The

air 46 supplying the injection system penetrates intoair circulation spaces annular air inlet 56 and continues its path in the form of anairflow internal profile 68 and theexternal profile 72 of thedeflection wall 66. - Furthermore, fuel is ejected by the
injector head 52 in the form of acone 80 with an angle θ relative to theinjection axis 44. - A large proportion of this fuel is deposited and forms a
film 82 on theinternal profile 68 of thedeflection wall 66. - The fuel is entrained by the airflow circulating in the downstream direction along this
internal profile 68, and runs off towards the downstream direction on theinternal profile 68. - When the fuel reaches the downstream end of the
deflection wall 66, sometimes called the <<trailing edge>> by analogy with a wing, the fuel meets theairflow 78 passing along theexternal profile 72 of thedeflection wall 66. Thisairflow 78 induces a shear effect that makes the fuel separate from the deflection wall, forming droplets in suspension in the air. - The fuel droplets separated from the annular deflection wall evaporate in air, preferably before reaching the inlet to the combustor in the combustion chamber.
- The evaporation of droplets is facilitated as much as possible by turbulence induced by the confluence of the
airflows - However, this type of injection system is not optimum, because the extent of the downstream edge of the annular deflection wall that forms the fuel atomization zone is limited.
- Consequently, the combustion efficiency is itself limited.
- The main purpose of the invention is to provide a simple, economic and efficient solution to this problem.
- It discloses an annular deflection wall for a turbomachine combustion chamber injection system centred on a longitudinal axis, and having a free downstream edge.
- Said downstream edge is formed by the repetition of a pattern extending on each side of a virtual circle.

- The invention can also improve the air and fuel mix and therefore improve the combustion efficiency.
- In particular, the invention can reduce the lean flameout richness and reduce CO/CH emissions.
- More precisely, the annular deflection wall comprises a plurality of first bosses projecting radially outwards and a plurality of second bosses projecting radially inwards and arranged alternately with said first bosses, such that the downstream edge of the annular deflection wall that is formed from a set of downstream ends from said first and second bosses respectively, forms an undulation about said virtual circle.
- The first and second bosses not only increase the size of the downstream edge and therefore the fuel atomization zone, but these bosses also increase the air/fuel exchange surface area on the internal surface of the annular deflection wall.
- According to the invention, each of said first and second bosses is centred relative to a corresponding plane inclined from a corresponding median axial plane of the annular deflection wall passing through a corresponding extremum of the downstream edge of the annular deflection wall at the boss considered.
- Preferably, the downstream edge of the annular deflection wall is inscribed in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the annular deflection wall.
- Preferably, said virtual circle is inscribed inside a virtual extension of a portion of revolution of the annular deflection wall.

- The invention also relates to an injection system for a turbomachine combustion chamber, comprising an annular air inlet of the type described above.
- Preferably, the injection system also comprises a bushing to centre a fuel injector head arranged on the upstream side of the annular air inlet, and a bowl arranged on the downstream side of the annular air inlet.

virtual circle 106 is preferably inscribed in a transvers plane R orthogonal to thelongitudinal axis 44 of theannular deflection wall 100. - In the example shown, the
annular deflection wall 100 generally comprises an upstreamannular part 110 that is curved radially outwards towards the upstream end so as to have aninternal profile 112 that converges in the downstream direction. This upstreamannular part 110 connects to theseparation wall 60 of theannular air inlet 56 of theinjection system 42, in a manner similar to that shown inFIG. 3 . Theannular deflection wall 100 also comprises a downstream annular part 114 (FIG. 4 ) that has a free downstream edge that forms the above-mentioned downstream edge 102 of theannular deflection wall 100. This downstreamannular part 114 comprises an upstream part forming a portion ofrevolution 118 about thelongitudinal axis 44 of theannular deflection wall 100. The downstreamannular part 114 has aninternal surface 115 and anexternal surface 117. - In the illustrated embodiment, the portion of
revolution 118 is cylindrical in shape. As a variant, this portion ofrevolution 118 may be tapered in shape. - In the example illustrated, the
virtual circle 106 is defined along the extension of the portion ofrevolution 118. Consequently, when the portion ofrevolution 118 is cylindrical in shape, thevirtual circle 106 is centred on thelongitudinal axis 44 and its diameter is equal to the diameter of the portion ofrevolution 118, while when the portion ofrevolution 118 is tapered in shape, thevirtual circle 106 that is also centred on thelongitudinal axis 44, is inscribed in the cone centred on thelongitudinal axis 44 and inside which the portion ofrevolution 118 is inscribed. - The
annular deflection wall 100 comprises a plurality of bosses that are distributed intofirst bosses 120 projecting radially outwards andsecond bosses 122 projecting radially inwards. Thefirst bosses 120 and thesecond bosses 122 are arranged alternately, downstream from the portion ofrevolution 118. - The downstream edge 102 of the
annular deflection wall 100 is formed by a set of downstream ends 124, 126 of the first andsecond bosses first bosses 120 and thesecond bosses 122, the downstream edge 102 forms an undulation about thevirtual circle 106. - Furthermore, each of the first and
second bosses annular deflection wall 100 passing through oneend 128 of the downstream edge 102 of the annular deflection wall at theboss - In this case, the angle α is preferably chosen such that the general direction of the bosses is approximately coincident with the direction of the airflow put into rotation by the

annular deflection wall 100 is preferably inscribed in the transverse plane R orthogonal to thelongitudinal axis 44 of theannular deflection wall 100, as is clear inFIG. 4 . - In this case, the

FIG. 3 , and continues its path along theinternal surface 115 andexternal surface 117 of the annular deflection wall 100 (FIG. 4 ). - Furthermore, a large proportion of the fuel ejected by the injector head is deposited and forms a film on the
inside surface 115 of theannular deflection wall 100. - The fuel entrained by the airflow passing along this
internal surface 115 in the downstream direction runs off towards the downstream direction on this surface. - When it reaches the downstream edge 102, the fuel meets the airflow circulating along the
external surface 117 of theannular deflection wall 100. This airflow induces a shear effect that makes the fuel detach from the annular deflection wall, forming droplets in suspension in air. - Due to its shape, the downstream edge 102 has a larger fuel atomization zone than the downstream edge of a known type of annular deflection wall.
