COMBUSTOR ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

A combustor assembly (80) for a gas turbine engine (10) is provided. The combustor assembly (80) generally includes a liner (82, 84) at least partially defining a combustion chamber (88) and having an inner wall (132) defining an inner opening (140) and an outer wall (134) defining an outer opening (142). A boss (152) is defined by the inner wall (132) and extends around the inner opening (140) toward the outer wall (134). A body (160) of a ferrule (144) extends along an axial direction (A2) through the outer opening (142) and defines a central bore (162) in fluid communication with the combustion chamber (88). A radial flange (164) extends from the body (160) along a radial direction (R2) and is positioned between the inner wall (132) and the outer wall (134). The flange (164) defines a flange diameter (166) that is greater than an internal diameter (150) of the outer opening (142) such that the ferrule (144) may slide along the radial direction (R2) but is restrained in the axial direction (A2).
