A damping system and apparatus are disclosed for dampening acoustic pressure oscillations of a gas flow in a combustor of a gas turbine engine having at least one combustor with a combustor liner. A second inner cap portion is disposed on the at least one combustor. The second inner cap portion can have a hot surface, a cold surface, at least one burner opening protruding from the cold surface, and at least one neck ring having an internal opening and protruding from the cold surface. At least one extended resonating tube having a resonating tube neck is integrated with and protruding from the at least one neck ring. The at least one extended resonating tube is disposed between adjacent burner openings, and is configured such that the radial dimension is less than the axial dimension.

1. A damping system for dampening acoustic pressure oscillations of a gas flow in a combustor of an engine, the damping system comprising: a combustor defining a centerline in an axial direction and comprising a combustor liner surrounding a combustion chamber and circumscribing the centerline, the combustor liner having a forward end and an aft end;a cap assembly disposed across the forward end of the combustor liner to define an upstream boundary of the combustion chamber, the cap assembly comprising: a plate having a hot surface and a cold surface;a plurality of burner openings defined through the plate and protruding upstream from the cold surface;at least one neck ring comprising an internal opening defined through the plate from the hot surface to the cold surface, the at least one neck ring protruding upstream from the cold surface between adjacent burner openings of the plurality of burner openings; andat least one extended resonating tube integrated with and protruding upstream from the at least one neck ring between the adjacent burner openings, the at least one extending resonating tube comprising a tubular portion, a closed end comprising a closed end cap, an open end comprising an open end cap and a resonating tube neck defining a neck opening through the open end cap, and at least one chamber between the closed end and the open end, the at least one chamber being in fluid communication, through the neck opening, with an interior of the combustor;wherein, in relation to the centerline of the combustor, the at least one extended resonating tube is configured such that a radial dimension of the at least one extended resonating tube is less than an axial dimension of the at least one extended resonating tube; andwherein the open end cap further comprises cooling air ports. 2. The damping system of claim 1, wherein the at least one extended resonating tube is in fluid communication, through at least one purge hole, with a combustor cooling chamber and further comprises a support plate disposed proximate the closed end upstream of the cap assembly, the support plate projecting radially from an outer surface of the at least one extended resonating tube. 3. The damping system of claim 2, wherein the support plate is removably coupled to a combustor casing. 4. The damping system of claim 1, wherein the at least one extended resonating tube further comprises a plena cover support disposed proximate the closed end cap upstream of the cap assembly. 5. The damping system of claim 4, wherein the plena cover support is coupled to a combustor casing. 6.

The damping system of claim 6, wherein the flanged annulus is coupled to the open end cap. 8. The damping system of claim 1, wherein the cooling air ports are configured as cut outs, cylindrical openings, and mixtures thereof. 9. An engine comprising: a compressor section;a combustion section positioned downstream from the compressor section, the combustion section comprising a combustor, the combustor defining a centerline in an axial direction and comprising a combustor liner surrounding a combustion chamber and circumscribing the centerline, the combustor liner having a forward end and an aft end;a turbine section positioned downstream from the aft end of the combustor liner of the combustion section;wherein the engine comprises a damping system for dampening acoustic pressure oscillations of a gas flow in the combustor, the damping system comprising:a cap assembly disposed radially across the forward end of the combustor to define an upstream boundary of the combustion chamber, the cap assembly comprising: a plate having a hot surface and a cold surface;a plurality of burner openings protruding upstream from the cold surface;at least one neck ring comprising an internal opening defined through the first plate from the hot surface to the cold surface, the at least one neck ring protruding upstream from the cold surface between adjacent burner openings of the plurality of burner openings; andat least one extended resonating tube integrated with and protruding upstream from the at least one neck ring between the adjacent burner openings, the at least one extending resonating tube comprising a tubular portion, a closed end comprising a closed end cap, an open end comprising an open end cap and a resonating tube neck defining a neck opening through the open end cap, and at least one chamber between the closed end and the open end, the at least one chamber being in fluid communication, through the neck opening, with an interior of the combustor;wherein the at least one extended resonating tube is configured such that, in relation to the centerline, a radial dimension is less than an axial dimension; andwherein the open end cap further comprises cooling air ports. 10. The engine of claim 9, wherein the at least one chamber is in fluid communication, through at least one purge hole, with a combustor cooling chamber, and wherein the extended resonating tube further comprises a support plate disposed proximate the closed end upstream of the cap assembly. 11. The engine of claim 10, wherein the support plate is removably coupled to the combustor casing. 12. The engine of claim 9, wherein the at least one extended resonating tube further comprises a plena cover support disposed proximate the closed end cap upstream of the cap assembly. 13. The engine of claim 12, wherein the plena cover support is coupled to the combustor casing. 14. The engine of claim 9, wherein the at least one chamber of the at least one extended resonating tube comprises a first damping volume and a second damping volume; and wherein the first damping volume is proximate to the resonating tube neck at the open end cap, the second damping volume is proximate to the closed end cap, a separator separating the first damping volume from the second damping volume, a second neck portion extending through the separator and providing fluid communication between the first damping volume and the second damping volume, and a flanged annulus portion at least partially surrounding the resonating tube neck. 15.
