Embodiments of a Gas Turbine Engine ("GTE (20)") are provided, as are embodiments of a plasma flow-controlled intake system (22) for deployment on a GTE. In one embodiment, the GTE includes a turbine section (30), a combustion section (28) upstream of the turbine section, a compressor section (26) upstream of the combustion section, and intake section (24) upstream of the compressor section. The intake section includes a plenum (38), a first inlet (34) fluidly coupled to the plenum, and a flow-obstructing structure (48) projecting into the plenum and having an outer surface impinged by the airflow directed into the plenum through the first inlet during operation of the GTE. A first array of plasma actuators (82, 128) is disposed on flow-obstructing structure and, when activated, suppresses vortex shedding of the air flowing over the outer surface of the flow-obstructing structure. |
