Abstract
A system for designing a resonator to dampen acoustic energy in a combustion system includes a design module configured to generate a resonator design to dampen a target frequency and acceptable damping, a system analysis module configured to evaluate the resonator design within a modeled combustion system environment to determine a damping effect of the resonator design on the combustion system as a whole, and a system optimization module configured to adjust the resonator design to optimize an overall effect on the combustion system as a whole.
