Heavy-duty land-based gas turbines are often designed with can-annular combustors, which
consist of a set of identical cans, acoustically connected on the upstream side via the …

Can-annular combustors consist of a set of independent cans, connected on the upstream
side to the combustor plenum and on the downstream side to the turbine inlet, where a …

Thermo-acoustic instabilities in gas turbine engines are studied to avoid engine failure.
Compared to the engines with annular combustors, the can-annular combustor design …

Thermoacoustic instabilities in stationary gas turbines may cause high-amplitude limit
cycles, leading to damaged components and costly down-time. To better understand the …

Can-annular combustors consist of N distinct cans setup symmetrically around the axis of
the gas turbine. Each can is connected to the turbine inlet by means of a transition duct. At …

Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) has several inherent shortcomings such
as long mold filling times, low fiber volume fraction, and high void content in fabricated …

This paper presents a low-order thermoacoustic model for multi-burner combustors and
proposes a control theoretic approach to linear combustion instability analysis in frequency …

Can-annular combustors can feature azimuthal instabilities even if the acoustic coupling
between the individual cans is weak. Recently, various studies have focused on modeling …

In can-annular combustors, a narrow can-turbine junction leads to an acoustic coupling
between the cans, yielding unique features that greatly impact the (thermo) acoustic …

Thermoacoustic properties of can-annular combustors are commonly investigated by means
of single-can test-rigs. To obtain representative results, it is crucial to mimic can–can …
