GAS TURBINE ENGINE EXHAUST MIXER WITH AERODYNAMIC STRUTS

摘要

An exhaust mixer for a gas turbine engine has a plurality of circumferentially distributed alternating inner and outer lobes, and a plurality of aerodynamic struts positioned and oriented between adjacent inner lobes in the core flow passage. The struts are configured for diverting a portion of the core flow radially outwardly in troughs formed by the outer lobes on the core flow side of the mixer.
