    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 heat shield for a fuel nozzle of a gas turbine engine combustor. The heat shield includes a radial flange extending in radial and circumferential directions and has an opening therethrough at a radially inward end of the radial flange, and an annular conical wall extending in longitudinal and circumferential directions, the annular conical wall being connected to the radial flange at the radially inward end of the radial flange. The radial flange includes a flange forward side, and a flange aft side, and has a flange outer end portion. The flange outer end portion includes a flange rounded end portion on one of the flange forward side or the flange aft side, and a flange rounded protruding lip on the other of the flange forward side or the flange aft side, the rounded protruding lip extending in the longitudinal direction.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, systems, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for spraying fuel in an augmented gas turbine engine. The embodiments may include a spray bar with a fuel injection aperture configured to inject a fuel jet into a fuel conduit; the fuel conduit having a fuel window to discharge the fuel jet into a core exhaust flow of an augmented gas turbine engine; a first channel directing a first air stream into the fuel conduit; and a second channel directing a second air stream into the fuel conduit. The first air stream and the second air stream cooperatively shape the fuel jet coming out of the fuel window.

    Abstract: A combustor having a main chamber and a trapped vortex cavity. The main chamber includes an outer liner and an inner liner. The trapped vortex cavity extends from at least one of the outer liner or the inner liner. A plurality of mixing assemblies operably injects a fuel-air mixture into the trapped vortex cavity to produce combustion gases. The trapped vortex cavity injects the combustion gases into the main chamber. A steam system is in fluid communication with the main chamber. The steam system operably injecting steam into the main chamber such that the steam flows downstream of the trapped vortex cavity.

    Abstract: A combustor includes a combustion chamber and an annular dome. The combustion chamber includes an outer liner and an inner liner and has a combustion zone. The annular dome is coupled to the outer liner and the inner liner. A plurality of mixing assemblies operably injects a fuel-air mixture into the combustion zone of the combustion chamber to produce combustion gases. A combustor steam system is in fluid communication with the combustion chamber. The combustor steam system includes a steam path defined by at least one of the outer liner, the inner liner, or the annular dome. The combustor steam system operably directs steam through the steam path from the at least one of the outer liner, the inner liner, or the annular dome and into the combustion chamber.
