A dampener or resonator is provided within a combustor casing to mitigate combustion dynamics. The combustor casing head end volume is reduced by the resonator to mitigate combustion dynamics. The resonator is formed by a ring shaped plate that carries a continuous inwardly protruding wall or segmented inwardly protruding wall portions. The resonator can be a stand alone part that is inserted into the combustor casing or it can be integrally formed with the combustor casing.

A combustor for a gas turbine engine and related method is provided in which a plurality of combustor cans are selectively adapted with corresponding resonators. The resonators may, for example, be attached to every can in the consecutive arrangement of combustor cans, every other can, every third can or the like, and may be tuned to the same or first, second, third, etc. frequencies of operation. Such selective tuning is configured to suppress one or more of out-of-phase and in-phase dynamic interaction of streams discharged from adjacent combustor cans by changing the frequencies of pressure oscillation instabilities across the arrangement of consecutive cans.

A tunable fluid flow control system for controlling combustion dynamics in a combustor is disclosed. The control system includes a fuel supply path having an inlet portion, a first diverted portion, a second diverted portion, and an exit portion. A first diverted portion has a first length and a first diameter. A second diverted portion has a second length and a second diameter and spaced apart from the first diverted portion. The first and second diverted portions converge at a merging location. The exit portion is coupled to the merging location of the first and second diverted portions. At least one flow regulation device is coupled to the inlet portion and configured to divert fuel flow to the first and second diverted portions alternately to generate fuel flow perturbations at the merging location.

The present application provides a combustor. The combustor may include an air flow path with a flow of air therein. A flow obstruction may be positioned within the air flow path and cause a wake or a recirculation zone downstream thereof. A number of fuel injectors may be positioned downstream of the flow obstruction. The fuel injectors may inject a flow of fuel into the air flow path such that the flows of fuel and air in the wake or the recirculation zone do not exceed a flammability limit.

A system for suppressing combustion instability in a turbomachine includes at least one combustion chamber operatively connected to the turbomachine, and at least one pre-mixer mounted to the at least one combustion chamber. The at least one pre-mixer is configured to receive an amount of fuel and an amount of air that is combined and discharged into the at least one combustion chamber. In addition, the turbomachine includes a combustion instability suppression system operatively associated with the at least one pre-mixer. The combustion instability suppression system is configured to create a combustion asymmetry. The combustion asymmetry facilitates combustion instability suppression in the turbomachine.

In an embodiment, a system includes a turbine fuel nozzle having a hub with an axis, a shroud surrounding the hub along the axis, an air flow path between the hub and the shroud, and a fuel flow path. The turbine fuel nozzle also includes a swirl vane extending between the hub and the shroud in a radial direction relative to the axis. The swirl vane includes a fuel inlet coupled to the fuel flow path, a fuel chamber extending from the fuel inlet, and a plurality of fuel outlets extending from the fuel chamber to the air flow path. The plurality of fuel outlets is positioned at an axial distance of at least approximately ⅔ of an axial length of the fuel chamber downstream from an upstream point along an upstream edge of the fuel chamber.
