ABSTRACT:
A plurality of circumferentially displaced hollow members are positioned between an outer bypass duct and the center body of the core engine. Each of the hollow members is open at the radially outward end thereof for receiving relatively cool gas from the bypass duct. Each hollow member is formed with an opening in the side thereof extending substantially the full length of the hollow member near the trailing edge thereof for discharging bypass gas from the bypass duct in a direction facilitating thorough mixing of the bypass gas and core gases. A pivoted vane is provided in this opening of each of the hollow members and these vanes are controlled to vary the airflow through the aforementioned openings. Radially extending spraybars or fuel rods are provided within each hollow member adjacent opposite sides thereof so as to be cooled by the bypass air flowing through the hollow member. The spraybars are provided with a plurality of openings adjacent the sidewalls of the hollow members and corresponding openings are provided in these walls so that fuel, during augmentor operation, is directed into the area between adjacent hollow members. The aft end of each hollow member is formed as a relatively wide flat surface which acts as a flameholder for the fuel supplied from the spraybars and burned in the augmentor. The forward end of each hollow member is curved to an angle corresponding generally to the swirl angle of core gases exhausted from the core engine so as to effect a deswirling of this gas.
