ABSTRACT:
The cantilevered stator vanes of the compressor section of the gas turbine engine are treated by including a rotating hub having a by-pass passage for removing the low momentum fluid from the main air stream adjacent to the tips of the stator vanes in the compressor and returning it back into the main air stream after having treated the air while avoiding penalties and excessive heating. A plurality of vanes are circumferentially spaced in the by-pass passage for removing vortices and streamlining the flow before injected the air back into the airstream. The vane passage hub treatment is fabricated in a single cast piece in one embodiment, in a three ring configuration in another embodiment and in a segmented ring configuration in still another embodiment.
