ABSTRACT:
A method of operating a turbine engine includes providing at least one combustor having a chamber defined therein. The assembly includes at least one combustor wall defining the chamber and a first fluid passage defining a first fluid inlet within the wall. The first fluid passage is coupled in flow communication with the chamber and is configured to inject a first fluid stream. The assembly further includes at least one second fluid passage defining at least one second fluid inlet within the wall. The second fluid inlet is adjacent to the first fluid inlet and is coupled in flow communication with the chamber. The method also includes injecting the first fluid stream and injecting the second fluid stream into the chamber at an oblique angle with respect to the first fluid stream, thereby intersecting and mixing the second fluid stream with the first fluid stream.
