Abstract
A gas turbine combustor having a Helmholtz resonator in a post-swirler homogenization zone upstream of the combustor zone. Embodiments of the present invention provide Helmholtz resonators that include cavities that occupy a remainder of a post-swirler homogenization zone, which also includes at least one flow-directing structure that passes a fuel/oxidizer mixture from a main swirler assembly into a combustion zone of a combustor. Thus, an open annular region of the combustor is converted into a multi-purpose zone that includes at least one Helmholtz resonator.
