<p>A gas turbine system (10) including a compressor section (12), a combustor section and a turbine section, wherein the compressor section (12) includes a first wheel (18) and a second wheel (20) having a center bore (30) extending axially therethrough, and wherein the first wheel (18) and the second wheel (20) are relatively adjacent each other. Also included is a gap (22) disposed between the first wheel (18) and the second wheel (20), wherein airflow is directed radially inward within the gap (22) toward the center bore (30) of the second wheel (20) with or without the help of impellers (32) extending radially. The compressor section (12) further includes an airflow manipulation device (36) disposed within the gap (22), comprising of atleast one or multiple vanes which may start in radial direction but extend at least partially into the center bore (30).</p> |
