Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing a fluid flow to a compressor system of a first turbo machine, wherein the compressor system includes at least one compressor housing in which at least one impeller is arranged and through which a compressor flow flows. The method includes feeding a primary fluid flow to a mixing region of the compressor system. The method further includes feeding a secondary fluid flow from an outside region of the compressor housing to the mixing region so that the secondary fluid flow mixes at least in part with the primary fluid flow to form a resulting fluid flow so that between the primary fluid flow and the secondary fluid flow a momentum exchange takes place, and so that the secondary fluid flow is promoted by the primary fluid flow. The method further includes feeding the resulting fluid flow to the compressor flow upstream of the impeller in the direction of the impeller.
