PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the required total movement of an injected flow for preventing separation in a transition duct with an aggressive high area ratio. SOLUTION: A bypass channel for use in an inter-turbine transition duct assembly (32) of a turbine engine (10) is connected to a suction port (64) disposed upstream of a high-pressure turbine (22) and at least two injection openings disposed downstream of the high-pressure turbine (22). The flow through the bypass channel is motivated by the natural pressure difference across the high-pressure turbine (22). The flow out of the at least two injection openings (60) is used to energize the boundary layer flow downstream of the high-pressure turbine (22) in order to allow for the use of a more aggressively expanded inter-turbine duct (40) without boundary layer separation. Methods for optimizing the flow through the turbine engine (10) are also disclosed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
