Abstract
A combustor for a turbine engine. The combustor includes a combustion chamber and a damper. The combustion chamber is configured to combust a mixture of a fuel flow and a compressed air flow to generate combustion products. The damper is in fluid communication with the combustion chamber to damp an instability generated in the combustion chamber by the combustion products. The damper includes a damper cavity and one or more damper necks. The damper necks provide fluid communication between the damper cavity and the combustion chamber. The damper necks extend along a damper neck longitudinal centerline axis and include a tapered portion that extends at a damper neck taper angle α with respect to the damper neck longitudinal centerline axis.
