Abstract (en)

A gas turbine engine includes a combustor (3) having a natural vibration frequency (fo) and provided with a plurality of first burners (17) and a plurality of second burners (18). The first burners (17) are configured to produce first flames with a first time delay (τ<sub>1</sub>) and the second burners (18) are configured to produce second flames with a second time delay (τ<sub>2</sub>). A difference between the first time delay (τ<sub>1</sub>) and the second time delay (τ<sub>2</sub>) is equal to a reciprocal of the natural vibration frequency (f<sub>0</sub>): τ1−τ2=1/f0 where τ<sub>1</sub> is the first time delay, τ<sub>2</sub> is the second time delay and f<sub>0</sub> is the natural vibration frequency of the combustor.
