Phased fuel injectors reduce noise from jet engines

Gas turbine engines used in power generation and jet engines generate substantial noise from the combustion process, and the interaction of the expanding hot gases and the combustion chamber. Researchers have found that by using fuel injectors that are phased to release fuel at the correct time, the combustion pulses can be used to damp the system.
