Abstract

A system for the active control of combustion instabilities in liquid-fueled, lean, premixed combustors was demonstrated in a three-nozzle sector combustor, using full-scale engine hardware. Modulation of a portion of the premixed fuel flow led to a reduction of 6.5 dB (2.1X) in the amplitude of the dominant instability mode. Combustor emissions were not adversely affected by the control.
