ABSTRACT:
A method of conditioning a fluid flow from a first area to a second area downstream from the first area. The flow coming from the first area is directed in a longitudinal direction. The cross-section of flow is increased, and the flow is split by means of an impact surface substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal flow direction. The split is caused to flow symmetrically relative to the longitudinal flow direction over a predetermined distance from the splitting to the second area without reducing the rate. The split flow is accelerated over at least a portion of said predetermined distance. The flow is mixed to achieve a conditioned fluid flow in the second area.
