<p>The present invention is a device (100) for at least partially stabilizing an unstable fluid flow within a flow channel (103) by capturing at least a portion of the unstable fluid within a vaneless diffuser having a diffuser slot (104). The present invention also includes maintaining and harnessing a substantial portion of the energy contained in the fluid as it flows through the diffuser in order to utilize the fluid to improve the condition of the flow field. An example of a beneficial use includes discharging the diffuser effluent into the flow at other points critical to instability, hence reducing the overall instability of the flow channel.</p> |
