Abstract

See full text

A method for providing thermo-acoustic coupling of a gas turbine engine augmentor includes determining acoustic resonances and heat release phase relationships associated with the augmentor. A fuel injector of the augmentor is positioned at an axial position relative to a flame holder of the augmentor in response to the determined acoustic resonances and heat release phase relationships associated with the augmentor. Heat release and acoustic pressure oscillation cycles associated with the augmentor are out of phase by at least approximately 100 degrees.
