WAKE MANIPULATNIG STRUCTURE FOR A TURBINE SYSTEM

摘要

A wake manipulating structure for a turbine system includes a combustor liner defining a combustor chamber. Also included is an airflow path located along an outer surface of the combustor liner. Further included is a wake generating component disposed in the airflow path and proximate the combustor liner, wherein the wake generating component generates a wake region located downstream of the wake generating component. Yet further included is a venturi structure or section disposed in the airflow path configured to reduce the wake region.

1. A wake manipulating structure for a turbine system comprising:
a combustor liner defining a combustor chamber; an airflow path located along an outer surface of the combustor liner; a wake generating component disposed in the airflow path and proximate the combustor liner, wherein the wake generating component generates a wake region located downstream of the wake generating component; and a venturi structure disposed in the airflow path and comprising at least one inlet hole and at least one outlet hole, the at least one outlet hole circumferentially aligned with the wake generating component at an axially downstream location of the wake generating component.
