One wall includes a generally aft-facing step having a first section and an interconnected second section, a forward wall portion attached to the first section, and an aft wall portion attached to the second section. The second section includes a fuel injector discharge orifice having a fuel discharge axis which is aligned generally perpendicular to the second section and which projects both generally towards the other wall and longitudinally aft. The combustor has a cylindrical embodiment which includes a cylindrical wall having a step and fuel injector discharge orifice similar those of the "2-D" and annular combustor embodiments.
