A system includes a gas turbine engine having a first combustor and a second combustor. The first combustor includes a first fuel conduit having a first plurality of injectors. The first plurality of injectors are disposed in a first configuration within the first combustor along a first fuel path, and the first plurality of injectors are configured to route a fuel to a first combustion chamber. The system further includes a second combustor having a second fuel conduit having a second plurality of injectors. The second plurality of injectors are disposed in a second configuration within the second combustor along a second fuel path, and the second plurality of injectors are configured to route the fuel to a second combustion chamber. The second configuration has at least one difference relative to the first configuration.

1. A system comprising: a gas turbine engine, the gas turbine engine comprising:a first combustor and a second combustor, each combustor having a head end and a liner extending downstream from the head end, the liner defining a primary combustion zone and a secondary combustion zone downstream of the primary combustion zone;a first plurality of fuel injectors arranged in a first configuration for supplying a first oxidant/fuel mixture through the liner of the first combustor to the secondary combustion zone of the first combustor, the first plurality of fuel injectors being arranged in one or more axial planes including a first axial plane in the first combustor, wherein at least one fuel injector of the first plurality of fuel injectors is arranged in the first axial Diane;a second plurality of fuel injectors arranged in a second configuration for supplying a second oxidant/fuel mixture through the liner of the second combustor to the secondary combustion zone of the second combustor, the second plurality of fuel injectors being arranged in one or more axial planes including a second axial plane in the second combustor, wherein at least one fuel injector of the second plurality of fuel injectors is arranged in the second axial plane;wherein the first configuration and the second configuration are different from one another in at least one of: a number of fuel injectors in the first plurality of fuel injectors relative to a number of fuel injectors in the second plurality of fuel injectors; a location of the first axial plane relative to a location of the second axial plane; and a first circumferential spacing of the first plurality of fuel injectors relative to a second circumferential spacing of the second plurality of fuel injectors; andwherein, during operation of the gas turbine engine, the at least one difference between the first configuration and the second configuration results in the first combustor operating with a first combustion dynamics frequency and the second combustor operating with a second combustion dynamics frequency, wherein the first combustion dynamics frequency is different than the second combustion dynamics frequency. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the number of fuel injectors in the first plurality of fuel injectors in the first configuration is greater than the number of fuel injectors in the second plurality of fuel injectors in the second configuration. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first axial plane is located at a first distance from the head end of the first combustor; wherein the second axial plane is located at a second distance from the head end of the second combustor; andwherein the first distance and the second distance are different. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the first plurality of fuel injectors is arranged in at least two axial planes, the at least two axial planes including the first axial plane and a first downstream axial plane in the first combustor, the first downstream axial plane and the head end of the first combustor defining therebetween a third distance; wherein the second plurality of fuel injectors is arranged in at least two axial planes, the at least two axial planes including the second axial plane and a second downstream axial plane in the second combustor, the second downstream axial plane and the head end of the second combustor defining therebetween a fourth distance; andwherein the third distance and the fourth distance are different. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the first plurality of fuel injectors is arranged circumferentially about the liner in the first circumferential spacing; and wherein the second plurality of fuel injectors are arranged circumferentially about the liner in the second circumferential spacing different from the first circumferential spacing. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the first plurality of fuel injectors is arranged circumferentially about the liner in the first circumferential spacing; wherein the second plurality of fuel injectors are arranged circumferentially about the liner in the second circumferential spacing; and wherein the first circumferential spacing and the second circumferential spacing are the same, the first plurality of fuel injectors being circumferentially offset from the second plurality of fuel injectors relative to respective longitudinal axes of the first combustor and the second combustor. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the first plurality of fuel injectors in the first configuration are arranged with the first circumferential spacing and the first axial plane is located at a first distance from the head end of the first combustor; and wherein the second plurality of fuel injectors in the second configuration are arranged with the second circumferential spacing and the second axial plane s located at a second distance from the head end of the second combustor; andwherein the first circumferential spacing is different from the second circumferential spacing, and the first distance is different from the second distance. 8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a controller configured to control a rate at which fuel is supplied to a first fuel injector of the first plurality of fuel injectors and a rate at which fuel is supplied to a second fuel injector of the first plurality of fuel injectors, such that the first fuel injector and the second fuel injector of the first plurality of fuel injectors receive fuel at different non-zero flow rates. 9. The system of claim 1, further comprising a controller configured to control rate at which fuel is supplied to a first fuel injector of the first plurality of fuel injectors and a rate at which fuel is supplied to a second fuel injector of the second plurality of fuel injectors, such that the first fuel injector and the second fuel injector receive fuel at different non-zero flow rates. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein a difference between the non-zero flow rate of the first fuel injector in the first combustor as compared to the non-zero flow rate of the second fuel injector in the second combustor results in different flame dynamics between the first fuel injector and the second fuel injector. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein a difference between the non-zero flow rate of the first fuel injector in the first combustor as compared to the non-zero flow rate of the second fuel injector in the second combustor results in a first ratio of the oxidant/fuel mixture in the first fuel injector and a second ratio of the oxidant/fuel mixture in the second fuel injector different from the first ratio, thereby varying flame dynamics.
