Zusammenfassung:A fuel nozzle for a turbine engine using hydrogen fuel is provided. The fuel nozzle includes a tubular element, a perforated fuel distributor disposed along the tubular element and comprising a plate body defining holes and a swirler element abuttable with an end wall of a combustor of the turbine engine. The swirler element includes an inner swirler body formed to define a swirl area receptive of hydrogen fuel from the tubular element via the holes and an outer swirler body disposed about the inner swirler body and formed to define openings through which fluid flows radially into the swirl area to mix with the hydrogen fuel prior to flowing into the combustor.
