  • Patent number: 10415470
    Abstract: Air inlet duct of a turbine engine, in particular an aircraft turbine engine comprising a gas generator, which extends axially between the air inlet and the gas generator and has a first axial wall part and a second wall part which is angularly offset with respect to the first part, which duct is capable of causing, in a shedding region, shedding of the boundary layer formed by an air flow along the wall of the duct; and a device for controlling said shedding of the boundary layer, characterised in that the control device comprises an air-blowing pipe which opens via at least one air-injection opening which is directly upstream of the shedding region, the blowing pipe being connected to an air intake positioned upstream of said air-injection opening or in the shedding region and comprising an air compressor means between the air intake and the air-injection opening.

  • Patent number: 10316747
    Abstract: Air intake duct for supplying air to a turbine engine gas generator, in particular an aircraft turbine engine, extending axially between the air intake and the gas generator and having a deflection which may cause shedding of the boundary layer formed by the air flow along the wall of the duct, wherein said air intake duct comprises a guiding element located in the duct and designed to guide the air along the wall of the duct to a portion having the deflection, said guiding element extending transversely to the direction of the flow of air and having at the ends thereof two end profiles that form a non-zero angle with the guiding element, said two end profiles being able to produce eddies in the air flow.
