A nozzle includes a center body and a shroud surrounding the center body to define an annular passage. An arcuate annular guide extending from a point radially inward of the shroud to a point radially outward of the shroud defines a first airflow between the arcuate annular guide and the shroud and a second airflow between the arcuate annular guide and the center body.

1. A fuel nozzle, comprising: a. a center body of the fuel nozzle;b. a shroud circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the center body to define an annular passage between the center body and the shroud, wherein the shroud includes an end, swirler vanes extending from the center body to the shroud; andc. an arcuate annular guide separated from the end of the shroud and extending from a point radially inward of the end of the shroud to a point radially outward of the end of the shroud so that the arcuate annular guide defines a first airflow path between the arcuate annular guide and the shroud and a second airflow path between the arcuate annular guide and the center body. 2. The fuel nozzle of claim 1, wherein the arcuate annular guide includes a first end and a second end, and the second end extends at least partially between the shroud and the center body. 3. The fuel nozzle of claim 1, further including at least one strut connected to the arcuate annular guide to support the arcuate annular guide. 4. The fuel nozzle of claim 3, wherein the at least one strut connects to at least one of an end cover, an end cap, the center body, or a nozzle flange. 5. The fuel nozzle of claim 1, wherein the arcuate annular guide includes a radially outer perimeter with a substantially flat segment along at least a portion of the radially outer perimeter. 6. The fuel nozzle of claim 1, wherein the end of the shroud includes a section having an increased thickness. 7. The fuel nozzle of claim 1, wherein the arcuate annular guide includes a first end, a second end, and a center portion between the first end and the second end and having a larger thickness than at least one of the first end or the second end. 8. The fuel nozzle of claim 1, wherein the center body includes a contoured surface that narrows the annular passage between the center body and the shroud. 9. The fuel nozzle of claim 1, further including a baffle between the arcuate annular guide and the center body so that the baffle divides the second airflow between the arcuate annular guide and the center body. 10. A combustor, comprising: a. an end cap; andb. a fuel nozzle disposed in the end cap, wherein the fuel nozzle includes: i. a center body;ii. a shroud circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the center body to define an annular passage between the center body and the shroud, wherein the shroud includes an end and swirler vanes extending from the center body to the shroud; andiii. an arcuate annular guide separated from the end of the shroud and extending from a point radially inward of the end of the shroud to a point radially outward of the end of the shroud so that the arcuate annular guide defines a first airflow path between the arcuate annular guide and the shroud and a second airflow path between the arcuate annular guide and the center body. 11. The fuel nozzle of claim 10, wherein the arcuate annular guide includes a first end and a second end, and the second end extends at least partially between the shroud and the center body. 12. The fuel nozzle of claim 10, further including at least one strut connected to the arcuate annular guide to support the arcuate annular guide. 13. The fuel nozzle of claim 10, wherein the arcuate annular guide includes a radially outer perimeter with a substantially flat segment along at least a portion of the radially outer perimeter. 14. The fuel nozzle of claim 10, wherein the end of the shroud includes a section having an increased thickness. 15. The fuel nozzle of claim 10, wherein the arcuate annular guide includes a first end, a second end, and a center portion between the first end and the second end and having a larger thickness than at least one of the first end or the second end. 16. The fuel nozzle of claim 10, wherein the center body includes a contoured surface that narrows the annular passage between the center body and the shroud. 17. The fuel nozzle of claim 10, further including a baffle between the arcuate annular guide and the center body so that the baffle divides the second airflow between the arcuate annular guide and the center body. 18. A fuel nozzle, comprising: a. a center body of the fuel nozzle;b. a shroud circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the center body to define an annular passage between the center body and the shroud, wherein the shroud includes an end, and swirler vanes extending from the center body to the shroud; andc. an arcuate annular guide separated from the end of the shroud and extending from a point radially inward of the end of the shroud to a point radially outward of the end of the shroud so that the arcuate annular guide defines a first airflow path between the arcuate annular guide and the shroud and a second airflow path between the arcuate annular guide and the center body. 19. The fuel nozzle of claim 18, wherein the arcuate annular guide includes a radially outer perimeter with a substantially flat segment along at least a portion of the radially outer perimeter. 20. The fuel nozzle of claim 18, wherein the arcuate annular guide includes a first end, a second end, and a center portion between the first end and the second end and having a larger thickness than at least one of the first end or the second end.
