    Abstract: A turbine engine can include a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement. The combustion section can include a combustor liner, a dome assembly coupled to the combustor liner, a fuel nozzle fluidly coupled to the dome assembly, a combustion chamber fluidly coupled to the fuel nozzle, and at least one set of dilution openings located in the dome assembly or combustor liner that fluidly couple to the combustion chamber. A swirler can define at least one passage extending between at least one annular entrance and at least one annular exit, wherein the at least one annular entrance is fluidly coupled to the compressor section. A variable area device is movable relative to the at least one set of dilution openings or at least a portion of the swirler.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine that is configured to mitigate fuel coupled dynamics. The engine includes a combustor, a fuel delivery system, a fuel manifold line; and a device configured to mitigate fuel coupled dynamics. The device is attached to the fuel manifold line and includes a housing and a reflector. The housing includes a wall and the wall defines a housing surface that is configured to reflect waves conducted by fuel within the fuel delivery system. The reflector is positioned within the housing and the reflector includes an anterior surface that is configured to reflect waves conducted by fuel within the fuel delivery system such that wave the reflected waves can strike the surface.

    Abstract: A rotating detonation combustion system includes an outer wall and an inner wall together defining at least in part a combustion chamber and a combustion chamber inlet. A nozzle of the rotating detonation combustion system is located at the combustion chamber inlet, the nozzle defining a lengthwise direction and extending between a nozzle inlet and a nozzle outlet along the lengthwise direction. The nozzle further defines a throat between the nozzle inlet and nozzle outlet. A fuel injection port is also provided, the fuel injection port defining a fuel outlet located between the nozzle inlet and the nozzle outlet for providing fuel to a flow of oxidizer received through the nozzle inlet.

    Abstract: A combustor includes a combustion chamber having an outer liner and an inner liner and defining a first combustion zone, an annular dome coupled to the outer liner and the inner liner, and a trapped vortex cavity extending from at least one of the outer liner or the inner liner and defining a second combustion zone. A plurality of first mixing assemblies are disposed through the annular dome, and operably inject a first fuel-air mixture into the first combustion zone. A plurality of second mixing assemblies are disposed at the trapped vortex cavity, and operably inject a second fuel-air mixture into the second combustion zone defined in the trapped vortex cavity to produce combustion gases. A steam system includes a steam injector in fluid communication with the trapped vortex cavity. The steam injector operably injects steam into the trapped vortex cavity and the steam mixes with the combustion gases.
