A combustor for a turbine engine is provided, the combustor includes an outer liner, an inner liner and a dome that together define a combustion chamber; a diffuser positioned upstream of the combustion chamber, the diffuser being configured to receive air flow from a compressor section and to provide a flow of compressed air to the combustion chamber; and an outer cowl and an inner cowl located upstream of the combustion chamber, the outer cowl and the inner cowl being configured to direct a portion of air flow from the diffuser to the combustion chamber. The diffuser is configured to output air flow having an amount of air pressure maximized at a center of the air flow so as to optimize total air pressure fed to the combustion chamber through the dome.

A system has: a combustor; a plenum surrounding the combustor; a transfer tube having an inlet fluidly connected to the plenum and at least two outlets, a first flow passageway defined between the inlet and a first outlet, a second flow passageway defined between the inlet and a second outlet, the second flow passageway connected to a discharge region outside of the plenum; a flow valve disposed within the second flow passageway and operable between an open position and a closed position, in the open position the flow valve fluidly connects the plenum with the discharge region, in the closed position the flow valve blocking fluid communication between the plenum and the discharge region; and a controller communicatively coupled to the flow valve to control operation thereof by: causing the flow valve to open for a time period; and subsequent to the time period, causing the flow valve to close.

The invention relates to a turbine engine combustion module (10), in particular for an aircraft turbine engine, designed to carry out constant-volume combustion, comprising: at least two combustion chambers (12A, 12B) arranged about an axis, each chamber (12A, 12B, 12C) comprising a compressed gas intake port (16) and a burnt gas exhaust port (18); and an ignition means that triggers combustion in the combustion chambers (12A, 12B, 12C). The module (10) comprises at least one duct (80) which establishes a communication between a first combustion chamber (12A) and at least one second combustion chamber (12B) in order to inject burnt gases from the first combustion chamber (12A) into the second combustion chamber (12B) so as to trigger combustion in the second combustion chamber (12B).
