FLOW MIXING LOBE AND CORRESPONDING METHOD OF FORMING

摘要

A flow mixing lobe (54) for an exhaust diffuser (30) includes a first flange member (64) having a first leading end (72), a first trailing end (73), and an intermediate portion (74) extending therebetween. A second flange member (65) includes a second leading end (80), a second trailing end (81), and an intermediate section (82) extending therebetween. A first leg portion (66) includes a first end (106) extending from the first flange member, and a second end (107). A second leg portion (67) has a first end portion (113) extending from the second flange member, and a second end portion (114). A wing member (68) is arranged between the first and second leg portions at respective ones of the second end and second end portions. The wing member includes a flow conditioning surface (130) having a non-linear profile extending between the second end and the second end portion.
