摘要
Combustion-induced instabilities are minimized in gas turbine combustors with a plurality of flameholders disposed on the center hub of each fuel nozzle. The flameholders are streamlined bluffbodies oriented at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the center hub which roughly matches the swirl angle of the fuel nozzle swirl vanes. The flameholders have streamlined upstream faces and flat downstream faces. The flat faces are preferably flush with the bluff end of the center hub. The flameholders, which are equally spaced about the circumference of the center hub, preferably block about 30-50% of the annular cross-sectional area in each burner. Thus, an array of additional flame sheets is produced in each burner without destroying the swirl. These additional flame sheets effectively increase early fuel consumption so that heat release in the main combustion chamber is decreased, thereby reducing combustion instabilities.
