Acoustic damping system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine

A turbine engine with an acoustic damping resonator system, comprising:

• a gas turbine engine combustor positioned downstream from a compressor and formed from at least one outer housing defining a combustor basket and at least one upstream wall that is attached to the at least one outer housing, wherein at least one fuel nozzle of a fuel nozzle assembly extends into the combustor;
• at least one resonator positioned within the gas turbine engine combustor at the at least one outer housing and extending circumferentially within the combustor;
• wherein the at least one resonator is positioned radially outward from at least one outer wall of the fuel nozzle assembly;
• and
• wherein the at least one resonator contacts the at least one outer housing and the at least one upstream wall and, the at least one resonator is curved.
