A device for supplying flow to a combustor includes a flow sleeve configured to circumferentially surround the combustor, wherein the flow sleeve defines a first annular passage around the combustor. A first section of the first annular passage converges at a first convergence rate. A second section of the first annular passage downstream from the first section converges at a second convergence rate that is less than the first convergence rate. A method for supplying flow to a combustor includes flowing a first portion of a working fluid substantially axially through a first annular passage, converging the first annular passage at a first convergence rate, and converging the first annular passage at a second convergence rate downstream from the first convergence rate, wherein the second convergence rate is less than the first convergence rate.
