ABSTRACT:
A turbine engine includes a turbine section having a first turbine portion and a second turbine portion arranged along a central axis. A re-heat combustor is arranged between the first and second turbine portions. The re-heat combustor includes a combustion duct having a curvilinear flow portion. The curvilinear flow portion provides an increased residence time of combustion products passing through the re-heat combustor.
