Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide resonators () that have lateral walls () disposed at non-square angles relative to the liner's longitudinal (and flow-based) axis () such that a film cooling of substantial portions of an intervening strip () is provided from apertures (A,B,) in a resonator box () adjacent and upstream from the intervening strip (). This film cooling also cools weld seams () along the lateral walls () of the resonator boxes (). In various embodiments the lateral wall angles are such that film cooling may be provided to include the most of the downstream portions of the intervening strips (). These downstream portions are closer to the combustion heat source and therefore expected to be in greater need of cooling.
