This paper presents a discussion of the investigation of a gas turbine engine to eliminate pressure oscillations which occurred in the combustor. The basic engine configuration and pertinent aspects of the combustor are described. The pressure oscillations were related to variations in the secondary fuel flow rate through the dual-orifice nozzles. The variations in fuel flow rate caused a fluctuation in nozzle spray characteristics which effected combustion efficiency.
